manufacturer Pfizer, a large and local employer, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the New Jersey Audubon Society. The campus also features the Florence and Robert Zuck Arboretum, named for two botany faculty members, containing a mixture of native and non-native trees, plants, and two small glacial ponds supporting populations of turtles, goldfish, catfish, and muskrats, and birds, including migratory fowl such as Canada geese, ducks, and herons.
The preserve and arboretum both provide a natural laboratory for instruction in biology and life sciences and for research, and are also open to the public by appointment. According to the New Jersey chapter of the Audubon Society, the arboretum and forest preserve is "important for groundwater recharge and runoff reduction within the Passaic River watershed and the Buried Valley Aquifer System".
