Schiff’s Deer Management Program Begins on Saturday, September 13th. Please be advised of signage and plan accordingly. For best visibility during the hunting season, visitors are encouraged to wear bright colored clothes and as always, keep pets on leash.

Where Wild Things Happen Naturally

Schiff fosters an understanding and appreciation of the natural world through land preservation, environmental stewardship, education, and passive recreational activities.

Trails, Events & More!

There's so much to see and enjoy at Schiff! We have 12 miles of marked trails, and protect approximately 780 acres of land in the heart of beautiful Morris County, NJ. Schiff is rich in history, too. From Revolutionary period artifacts to vintage buildings constructed by the Boy Scouts of America during the Depression era, there are still discoveries to be made! Come out and play, hike, explore and support our efforts to protect the natural beauty of our local communities.
