      • Wonder Walks

    • Some of the history in Northwest New Jersey is best explored on your own. A walk in the woods at this time of year can reveal more than you can imagine. Its warm, there’s little foliage to block your view, and you can watch, hear and smell the forest come alive. The rigorous climb to the Coppermines in the Kittatinny Mountains is well worth it.

      • Greatest Show In Earth

    • Flowers generally bloom first in the forest where leafless trees allow the sun to the ground while breaking the wind chill. Tree trunks radiate the day's heat to the ground to protect bursting seeds from frost. Each flower has its own way of doing business. The first to pop above the layer of wet, dead leaves is always skunk cabbage, able to spontaneously generate enough heat to propel it through the frozen ground. Above ground, the plant emits a stink that mimics that of a freshly thawed carcass. The flies that respond will pollinate the hosts a full month before the sweet fragrances of other species bring on the butterflies and bees.
