Gloucester County is a South Jersey county adjacent to Camden and the Philadelphia metro β€” one of New Jersey's earliest confirmed counties for SLF, established in 2019. The NJ Turnpike and Route 55 freight corridors have been primary vectors for SLF reinforcement from neighboring counties. The Delaware River waterfront, historic Gloucester City, and the growing South Jersey wine country around Mullica Hill all face ongoing SLF pressure as populations continue to expand across the county's suburban and agricultural landscapes.

Tree of Heaven in Gloucester County, NJ

Tree of Heaven is established along the NJ Turnpike and Route 55 corridors in Gloucester County, providing continuous SLF-hosting habitat through the county's freight nodes. The Timber Creek corridor and Delaware River waterfront margins have additional Ailanthus concentrations that support SLF populations. The proximity of ToH to Mullica Hill wine country makes Gloucester County a high-priority agricultural monitoring zone for South Jersey vineyard operators.
