The Second Watchung Mountain Ridge forest of West Orange, NJ is 120 acres of untouched and privately owned land. This is one of the last standing, unprotected core forests in the Watchung region and Essex county that has largely escaped enormous amounts of development. This land, with its many tributaries, streams, slopes, wetlands, and wildlife, is both ideal for conservation, and environmentally dangerous to build on.
