Glassboro Woods Wildlife Management Area (WMA), known to birders simply as Glassboro Wood, is a 2,337 acre tract of oak-pine forest, deciduous swamps, and the occasional cleared field. The area is bisected by a power line cut, five dirt roads, and two gas line right-of-ways. The Red Maple and Sweet Gum dominated swamps are the key stops here for birders in the spring. The place is best described as a “birding by ear” destination and I won’t minimize the necessity of knowing the bird songs and some calls for getting the most out of a birding trip here. Even so, beginners should be encouraged to try the area. At only 30 minutes from center city Philadelphia, the area a prime destination for Delaware Valley birders in the spring. On the downside it is loaded with ticks, so stay on the roads and wider trails if this is an area of concern.
