REVOLUTION RAIL CO | THE NATURE CONSERVANCY
Our partnership with The Nature Conservancy provides visitors an exceptional and eco-friendly way to explore the Garrett Family Preserve at Cape Island Creek, located in Cape May, New Jersey
GARRETT FAMILY PRESERVE
An ever-changing landscape defines the Garrett Family Preserve, with tides constantly flowing in and out of the salt marshes of Cape Island Creek. The saltwater tidal marsh is a nursery for many fish species, a place where shorebirds can forage and fiddler crabs make their homes. With its expansive native wildflower meadows, successional fields and taller tree lines, the preserve is a haven for migrating songbirds, raptors and pollinators like bumblebees and monarch butterflies. The seasonal blooms of the wildflower fields provide crucial habitat and food sources for pollinators, as well as excellent photo opportunities for visitors.
CONSERVATION
Revolution Rail is a proud cupporter of The Nature Conservancy and conservation efforts in Cape May.
WHAT TO SEE
The Nature Conservancy has planted native shrubs, fruit-bearing tree islands and wildflowers, and maintains the formerly overgrown fields in an early successional state which maximizes the benefits for wildlife, especially native and migratory birds.
Founded in the U.S. through grassroots action in 1951, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) has grown to become one of the most effective and wide-reaching environmental organizations in the world. Thanks to more than a million members and the dedicated efforts of our diverse staff and over 400 scientists, we impact conservation in 79 countries and territories: 37 by direct conservation impact and 42 through partners.
