Heavy Infestation

Burlington County was one of New Jersey's first confirmed counties β€” established in 2019, it sits at the edge of the New Jersey Pine Barrens and serves as a major freight corridor via the NJ Turnpike and I-295. The historic town of Mount Holly and the Delaware River waterfront communities of Burlington City and Bordentown face ongoing SLF pressure. The Rancocas Creek corridor has become a significant SLF zone, and the county's position as a major Turnpike interchange node means freight-mediated spread remains an ongoing concern throughout the region.

Tree of Heaven in Burlington County, NJ
