Did you know that leaving the leaves in your yard not only saves you time & energy but also benefits wildlife? ![]()
![]()
Here are a few good reasons to put down the rake: ![]()
*Provide habitat for wildlife: Frogs, turtles, and salamanders rely on fallen leaves to provide cover and hibernation places; many moth and butterfly caterpillars and even fireflies overwinter in fallen leaves before emerging in spring. ![]()
*Provide food for wildlife: Creatures like earthworms and millipedes reside in and decompose leaf litter, and also are themselves a source of food for bigger wildlife like birds and toads. ![]()
*Increase fertility of your soil: Decomposing leaves add nutrients to your soil, including nitrogen, and also allows for greater water retention. ![]()
![]()
Read the National Wildlife Federation Blog to find out why and for tips on how to minimize the time you spend raking this autumn and maximize the benefit to wildlife and the greater environment that fallen leaves offer. ![]()

Welcome to the Township
of Medford, New Jersey
This site offers everything you need to know about Medford; for residents, businesses, and visitors alike. To quickly navigate what's available here, please visit the Guide for using our Township Website.
Our Township is nestled between fertile farms and the Federal Pinelands Natural Reserve in Burlington County, New Jersey. Located 30 minutes from Philadelphia and 45 minutes from the Jersey shore, our Township serves as the hub of business and culture for this region. Unlike many communities, Medford has not lost its’ “soul” to the suburban sprawl which has consumed many of New Jersey’s towns.
Medford has a bustling Village area, where unique shops and restaurants line our original and historic “Main Street.” The residential areas in Medford have been created with respect for the woodlands, streams and lakes surrounding us. Homes of log cabins, Victorian estates and contemporary facades dot the landscape. Dedicated open space, private camps, bike paths and sidewalks allow for many recreational activities. With Medford’s border of a million acres of protected forest and over 50% of the township as dedicated open space and natural surroundings, we are assured of a quiet and healthy environment for the future.
