Preserve Info<\/h2>\n

Retreat, to some, could imply a vacation or relaxation. To others it may mean to run away, seek solitude and isolation, withdraw. Although this preserve name is derived from a local place name, both definitions could well apply to the Trust\u2019s Retreat Preserve. Retreat is definitely isolated. In its dense forest of pines and Atlantic white cedar swamps, a distant call from a great horned owl could leave you to feeling very alone and remote. But one should not lose sight of the preserve\u2019s bright side. Friendship Swamp offers a scenic winding and open marshy area along the banks of the Rancocas River. Long abandoned cranberry bogs provide areas of wet emergent marsh. If you are able to pick your way through this expansive wet forest, you\u2019ll likely hear the lively scratching and chatter from towhee in the underbrush. Or perhaps a glimpse of a great horned owl before it retreats back into the forest.<\/p>\n
