ATTRACTING POLLINATORS TO YOUR GARDEN TALK AT OLD PINE FARM NATURAL LANDS TRUST ON SUNDAY MARCH 9
How do you attract bees, birds, bugs and butterflies to your garden to promote pollinators? What type of plants should you include in your garden to attract the largest number of pollinators? Pollination is important to the plant cycle that leads to successful fertilization and seed and fruit production for plants. Join us at Old Pine Farm Natural Lands Trust on Sunday March 9 at 2 p.m. for our monthly Walk in the Wild Educational program. Russell Burt, a trustee of Old Pine Farm, will lead the program and answer all your questions.
We will meet in the backyard of the Willoughby House which is part of the land trust and where a pollinator garden was planted in May 2024.
Admission is free, and all ages are welcome to attend.
The Willoughby House is located at the end of Pine Ave. off of Good Intent Road or you can put 340 Pine Ave. Deptford NJ 08096 in your favorite mapping service. On street parking.

We are continuing to acquire additional lots to connect the original Old Pine Farm acreage to a larger trail network running through the Blackwood Terrace area. We also strive to create a green trail from the headwaters of Big Timber Creek to the Delaware River.
Currently, Old Pine Farm Natural Lands Trust is working toward the immediate goals of obtaining additional property to complete the greenway, as well as the purchase of Willoughby House.

Consisting of more than 50 acres of land, Old Pine Farm is one of the few remaining natural and protected areas along the highly developed tidal portion of Big Timber Creek. It offers a variety of terrain, including a meadow, woodlands, and wetlands, while being surrounded on three sides by many acres of fresh water in the Big Timber Creek.
The original Old Pine Farm Natural Lands Trust includes land contiguous to the Big Timber Creek and the Willoughby property, roughly 33 acres. In 2001, the trust purchased an additional 5.1 acres south of Good Intent Road along Bayer Avenue, creating an area called Greenway I. After this purchase, the trustees established a goal of developing a trail to connect Greenway I to the original 33 acres. This lead to the 2003 purchase of another 9.6 acres of land at the end of Second Avenue. This property, Greenway II, adjoins Greenway I. In 2006, an additional 3.3 acres of land between First Avenue and McNaughton Avenue was obtained, creating Greenway III.Acquiring these properties can take up to several years per property, since the process involves getting approval from the New Jersey Green Acres program, finding funds for payment, having the land appraised, and doing a title search.
