Whittemore CCC
https://www.whittemoreccc.org
NNJC developed and launched at Geocaching trail throughout the 180-acre preserve which was bequeathed to Tewksbury Township by the beloved Helen A. Whittemore. She was a nature lover and diarist who wanted her land and house to be preserved so that others may be awed by the natural world and inspired by its beauty to preserve it.
The preserve includes Whittemore House, Whittemore Meadows and 11 miles of trails for hiking, dog walking, and exploring, photographing and painting nature. Trails traverse mainly wooded areas with wetlands, ravines, and hilly terrain. The preserve also serves as the perfect stage for birders and nature lovers to view local avian species and other wildlife.

Franklin Township, Somerset County
www.franklintwpnj.org
In partnership with Franklin Township, NNJC launched a geotrail at the Griggstown Native Grassland Preserve in October 2013. After completing the trail, geocachers receive the token seen at left. The trail system in the Griggstown area covers 376 acres, but these trails connect to other trails that transverse the entire length of the 685-acre Ten Mile Run Greenway. The site contains both 102 acres of open fields and 583 acres of woodland. Historically, the fields were row crops but more recently the property was used as a horse farm. A map and rules and regulations of the 5.4-mile trail system may be downloaded as a PDF file by clicking here.
