- Conservation Area |
This
is the first conservation area purchased by Middlesex County in the
early 1970's.
Its
primary purpose is to protect the underground resources of the Old Bridge
Sands acquifer. Just as important is the area's significance as the
northernmost outlier of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, and the flora and
fauna habitats it protects. There are specimens of endangered species
within this preserved open space.
