D&R Greenway Land Trust works to preserve and protect a permanent network of natural lands and open spaces in central New Jersey.

Greenway Meadows, which surrounds D&R Greenway Land Trust's home in Princeton, is a place to explore and play. In 2001, D&R Greenway Land Trust led the preservation of the 60-acre former Robert Wood Johnson estate. When completed, 55 acres were deeded to Princeton Township, creating Greenway Meadows Park.

The remaining acres surround a circa-1900 barn that D&R Greenway retained and renovated. In 2006, the Johnson Education Center opened to provide a home for D&R Greenway and a focal point for land preservation and stewardship activities throughout New Jersey.

Princeton Township owns and manages Greenway Meadows Park. One will find walking paths, picnic areas, playing fields and public restrooms.

The rolling, natural landscape is also home to the Scott and Hella McVay Poetry Trail. The mile-long Trail begins at an allée of century-old hybrid sycamore trees, moves up the hill past newly planted American chestnuts and loops a meandering mile down through a meadow. Forty-eight poems feature the work of poets from fourteen countries and cultures. The common thread is the poet’s close read of some aspect of the natural world. The Scott and Hella McVey Poetry Trail speaks to the relationship between art and nature.
