Hiking Our Preserves 

The lands we've preserved provide scenic vistas, protect water and air quality, and provide critical habitat for innumerable plant and animal species, including many considered rare or endangered in New Jersey or nationally. Equally important, these forever-wild places ensure that our children and grandchildren continue to have access to nature in all of its wondrous forms. Many of our preserves offer hiking trails for the public to enjoy. Please abide by recent state guidelines for COVID-19 safety.

We encourage you to visit RVC preserves today and experience the many wonders nature has to offer. See you on the trail!
