Wagner Farm Arboretum

Wagner Farm Arboretum is located at 197 Mountain Avenue, Warren Township in Somerset County, New Jersey. The arboretum spans 92.6 acres of open land where children and adults can participate in recreational events, classes, and volunteering experiences.The arboretum began in 2001, when Warren Township purchased the Wagner Farm property. In 2002 the town's advisory committee suggested that the site be made into an arboretum, and a nonprofit organization to this end was formed in 2004. In the Spring of 2007, Wagner Farm Arboretum collaborated with The Gardeners of Watchung Hills to open the Community Garden. It was also during this year that the Giving Garden Project (GGP) started and as of 2017 has distributed over 100,000 pounds of produce to the needy. The GGP partners with the Wagner Farm Arboretum “Growing To Give” educational program and the local elementary schools to help students plant seeds, learn about the environment and understand the social aspects of giving back to a community. The Children plant seeds in flats and tend them for several weeks in their classrooms. Then in the Spring, they plant the seedlings in the Giving Garden plots. The Children's Garden broke ground in the fall of 2008 and has become a wonderful place for children and adults to explore and relax. In 2014, Wagner Farm Arboretum celebrated its 10th year as a non-profit organization. Over the years since its incorporation, through the leadership of the members of the Board of Trustees, and with the tireless efforts of many volunteers and committee members, the Arboretum has made an impact to the community and environment one step at a time, one seedling at a time, and one helping hand at a time.

Dead River (New Jersey)

The Dead River is a tributary of the Passaic River that has its source in Somerset County, New Jersey in the United States.For several miles it forms the northern border of Warren Township with Bernards Township, both in Somerset County. It joins the Passaic just north of Exit 36 of I-78, and the junction was moved northward, away from the Exit, to allow enough room for the exit ramps. There the river is crossed by King George Road. At the next I-78 westward, Exit 33, the river is crossed by the Martinsville-Liberty Corner Road, and there is extensive commercial development in both Warren and Bernards north of the Exit and south of the river. The Somerset Hills Hotel is on the banks of the river in Warren, and its sister hotel, now Indigo, is to the west on its banks in Bernards. For many years the Indigo was known as The Inn at Somerset Hills, and its lounge-tavern was known as The Dead River Pub. Between the two I-78 exits the river is crossed by one road, known in Warren as Dead River Road and Bernards as Acken Road. Prior to World War II there were several brick works along the river due to the good clay found there. A 1960s housing development in Warren, originally called Dead River Estates, found more success when renamed Whispering Hills. The Dead River Road bridge was for a long time closed due to flooding and disrepair, and a controversary over whether it should be repaired and reopened significantly affected the 1983 election for Warren Township Committee. From river source to the Passaic the land is very flat, which, except during heavy rainfalls, results in hardly any detectable flow in the river, hence its name—which has absolutely nothing to do with anything "dead" along its course, save the river itself.
