Cheesequake State Park is one of the most ecologically diverse nature preserves in the region. This unique parkland lies in the transitional space between two ecosystems, which means that, at Cheesequake, you can find it all: from saltwater and freshwater marshes to the Pine Barrens, and a hardwood forest to open fields. Visitors come by the park to swim, canoe, camp, hike, fish and more — making it a great place to spend a day or longer getting lost in nature.
With all the nature fun that Cheesequake has going on, what better place than the park to spend Earth Day? On Sunday, April 27th, head over to Cheesequake State Park for an Earth Day trail cleanup and tree planting hike, starting at 10am at the Nature Center.
