There are miles of trails, all boasting different habitats – including forests and ponds.

In the Pine Barrens, you will see a lot of habitats and native wildlife. But you can’t leave without visiting the butterfly garden.

The highlight for so many people is the greenhouse – which is home to five tortoises – pets that people did not want.
