Natural Lands Trust is the region’s largest land conservation organization, preserving and caring for thousands of acres of open space each year throughout eastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey.
Osage orange, Maclura pomifera, is not native to this region but to Oklahoma and Texas. But it was widely planted for pasture fencing before barbed wire became popular—the trees can be pruned to form a thicket. Later it was planted to be cut for fence posts; it’s a very rot resistant wood.
