Park Ranger Group Programs

Park Ranger

About the Programs

If you have seen a fish, a wildflower or a tree that you could not identify or have wondered the difference between a meadow and a forest, then ask the Park Rangers to add some insight. The Park Rangers will be leading three types of programs: Tree Identification, Fishing Our Parks Waterways, and Interpretative Hikes. To register your group or for more information, please call the Park Rangers at 908-722-1200 ext. 5122.

TREE IDENTIFICATION
Have you ever wondered from what tree a baseball bat is made or which trees and shrubs can be used for food or drinks? Come and learn how to identify trees and shrubs in all seasons and discover how important trees are in our world today.

FISHING OUR PARKS’ WATERWAYS
Learn fishing basics and find out where to catch “the big one”. Fishing 101 will teach you everything including how to identify your catch, state fishing laws, fishing etiquette and where our parks’ fishing hot spots are. Afterward, you can show off your fishing skills at one of the “hot spots.”

INTERPRETIVE HIKES
Hikes will contain information on our environment and its inhabitants. We will explain what lives in our parks presently, as well as in the past. Hikes can be tailored to your specific interests or you are welcome to stroll with us on an interpretative hike of our choice.
