Glades Wildlife Refuge, also known as The Glades, is 7,440 acres (30.1 km2) in Newport, New Jersey along the Delaware Bay. Owned by Natural Lands, this nature preserve is a landscape of tidal marshes, wooded uplands, beaches along the Delaware Bay, and an old growth forest. Glades Wildlife Refuge open from dawn till dusk daily and is publicly accessible at several points. Several of these points are part of New Jersey's Coastal Heritage Route. In the 1970's Glades Wildlife Refuge was the site of the last remaining nesting Bald Eagles in New Jersey. This location played a key role in the reintroduction of the Bald Eagle to the region.
