A Habitat for Birds
NJ Audubon Society has identified
over 250 different species of birds in the Park. Most of them are migratory so
spring and autumn are very busy seasons in the Park.
Wetlands
These wetlands provide habitat for a
variety of water birds such as loons, grebes, cormorants, herons, ducks, geese,
swans, egrets, and many more, including the American white pelican, which may
be seen in the fall. The wetlands also provide habitat for plants, snakes,
fish, turtles and frogs in various stages of development.
Woodlands
We have a variety of trees, plants,
berry bushes, climbing vines and wild flowers. A special attraction of the
woodlands is the succession forest; you can see early reforestation (low growth
and seedling trees) to older growth (trees are taller with less light filtering
down to the ground and, consequently, less underbrush) all the way to the
mature, or climax forest where trees are thirty feet high, the canopy is broad
and the forest floor is dark. These trees ultimately compete for water, begin
to die, fall to the ground, and the entire process begins again.

CUSTOMER REVIEW: I call it "Van Saun" and if you've never made it
for a day trip, I'd highly recommend it. So affordable and a manageable size
for a younger family. A carousel, pony rides, train ride and various animal
exhibits. Gotta love the golden tamarins! Enjoy the adjacent playground and
county park facilities. They recently added a wonderful indoor learning center
that is a welcome cooling off point. The food for purchase is limited but
picnic tables are available in the park.
