This project was sponsored by U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife. A minimum donation of $5 per person would be appreciated. “He offered to guide the tour for free, but we intend to offer him a small honorar- ium anyway,” said Carolyn Gretchen, the publicity chairperson for the Thielke Arbo- retum. “He really is extremely knowledge- able and it’s a treat talking to him about Above: The duck pond. Left: Pathway leading to the gazebo. wildlife.” Participants’ donations will also benefit the proposed Environmental Education Center Building Fund. Visitors are urged to bring binoculars and to wear clothing that is appropriate for the weather and a moderate hike. The arboretum is situated along the north/south migration route for birds, and is an ideal spot to learn about birds that live in New Jersey and those that stop here to rest and refuel on their journey south. The Glen Rock Arboretum is a living tree museum with native trees and shrubs, and specimens from all over temperate Europe and Asia. The property includes a pond with turtles, fish, and aquatic birds. J. KOSTER
