Across New Jersey, Rutgers University has more than 24 properties and campuses, and on those lands people have recorded more than 1,600 animals, insects, plants and other life forms.

“I don’t know of any other university that has a growing species list on such a large scale for all their campuses and properties, such as within an entire U.S. state,” said Lena Struwe, a professor in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Natural Resources and Department of Plant Biology at Rutgers University in New Brunswick.
