  • SPONSORING volunteer projects that enhance the natural beauty and wildlife habitat of the preserve.
  • WORKING with and assisting preserve officials.
  • FACILITATING public awareness and enjoyment of Tall Pines.
  • RAISING FUNDS for the benefit of the Preserve.

Upcoming Events

  • Fall Foliage Walk: Sunday, November 3rd at 1:00 PM. Join the Friends of Tall Pines for a leisurely guided walk through the new Tall Pines Pollinator Garden then come with us and explore the trails of the Preserve on an autumn afternoon. We will be highlighting the two new bridges that cross Mantua Creek at Tall Pines. Experience the beauty of Tall Pines in fall as the trees reveal their splendid autumn color and the Friends point out fall wildflowers, birds, and other natural flora and fauna that call Tall Pines home. We will visit fields of yellow goldenrods and white asters and look for late migrating monarch and buckeye butterflies. And we will be on the lookout for Tall Pines birds too. Perhaps we will spot one of our resident bluebirds or passing fall migrants heading south. So bring your binoculars and a camera too. After the walk, light refreshments will be served. The event is FREE and open to the public.

  • Monthly Meeting: Tuesday, November 12th at 7:00 PM in the Jack C. Sheppard, Sr. Community Center (historic train station), 2 North East Ave., Wenonah, NJ.
