Excerpt from the NJ Audubon Information Page:
The Negri-Nepote Native Grassland Preserve was purchased in 2003 by Franklin Township. This 164 acre property is between Skillmans Lane to the east, Bennetts Lane to the north, and the Six-mile Run Reservoir site to the west and south. Parking is accessed from Skillmans Lane. There are 111 acres of grassland and 53 acres of woodland.
Unique Wildlife
Sensitive species found on this site include the Grasshopper Sparrow and Cooper’s Hawk (both New Jersey state threatened species), and the Eastern Meadowlark and American Kestrel (both New Jersey special concern species). The American Kestrel remained at this location throughout the breeding season. With different bird houses located throughout this site, opportunities to view nesting American Kestrels, Wood Ducks, Bluebirds and Purple Martins may be present in any given year.
