Caring for the Land

We actively manage and restore ecosystems in a fragmented suburban landscape to protect nature, sequester carbon and promote biodiversity. We care for over 2,700 acres of serene meadows, expansive grasslands and lush forests teeming with life. 523 plant species and 247 avian species, to be exact.

Agroecology

Regenerative agricultural practices that work in harmony with nature to provide foods while combatting climate change, supporting wildlife and empowering farmers and communities.

Sustainability

Nature positive, carbon negative.

Duke Farms strives to operate sustainably, reducing carbon emissions and fossil fuel reliance while advancing land stewardship practices that maximize carbon sequestration while enhancing biodiversity.

Eagle Cam

In partnership with the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, the Eagle Cam allows viewers an up close and personal view into the lives of a pair of bald eagles as they breed, incubate and raise young.
