Nature & Wildlife

Red fox, white tailed deer and more than 50 species of birds find refuge in our woodland filling the trees with sound and movement. The strategic location of the nature center's undeveloped acreage along the Atlantic Flyway provides a stopover for hundreds of birds during their spring and fall migrations. Nearly a third of New Jersey's amphibian and reptile species can be found within our borders. The diversity of plants and wildlife will delight the patient observer.

Within its nearly 400 acre expanse, the Tenafly Nature Center hosts two ecosystems, brimming with natural biodiversity & actively managed with human effort too.

TNC encourages first-time visitors and naturalists alike to learn more about the thriving flora and fauna that inhabit TNC and the surrounding environment.
