The 200-acre Mariton Wildlife Sanctuary and Wilderness Trust is perched on the steep slopes of Bougher Hill overlooking the scenic Delaware River. Except for the area around the preserve office and four small meadows at the top of the hill, the preserve is entirely forested, displaying a variety of forest types, from oak-dominated forest on the north-facing slope to a mixed oak-sweet birch-tuliptree forest on the south-facing slope.

History
Antonio and Mary Guererro bought the property in a series of purchases from 1944 though 1969. In 1969, they established the Mariton Wildlife Sanctuary and Wilderness Trust. (The name came from fusing their first names together, Mary + Tony = Mar-i-ton.) Natural Lands Trust has managed the property for the Mariton Trust since 1992.
