Schiff Nature Preserve offers an open invitation to explore, learn, and connect with the natural world. With 12 miles of marked trails winding through approximately 768 acres of protected land in the heart of Morris County, it’s a place rich in habitat and opportunity for discovery. Hike shaded paths, look for wildlife in quiet corners, or simply breathe in the rhythms of the woods and fields.
The preserve also offers a variety of ways to deepen your experience beyond the trailhead. Participate in environmental education programs, host an eco-themed birthday party, or send young explorers to the popular Summer Nature Program designed to spark curiosity and confidence outdoors. History lives here, too. Revolutionary-era artifacts and Depression-era buildings constructed by the Boy Scouts of America offer another avenue for exploration.
Whether you are out for a peaceful walk, a day of learning, or a shared family adventure, Schiff Nature Preserve wants you to know that here, wild things happen naturally.
