Trees planted along city streets, as well as, trees that grow in New Jersey's forest play an important role in improving the quality of life in our state. Realizing this fact, New Jersey's Forest Service Greenhouse is used to grow and promote trees for any type of suitable environment.

New Jersey's Forest Service greenhouse is located at the state's Forest Resource Education Center in Jackson, Ocean County. The greenhouse supports numerous educational school group tours each year. In addition, the greenhouse also supports two main tubeling programs within the state:

• The Arbor Day Seedling Program: Tree seedlings are distributed to area schools to encourage student participation in tree planting activities commemorating Arbor Day.
• The Atlantic White Cedar Reforestation Program: White cedar seedlings are grown from cuttings and distributed to help replenish a declining tree species in the state.

In addition to the greenhouse, a hoop house and shade house is also located on the premises. The hoop house provides space for the seedlings to be hardened before shipment, and the shade house provides storage area for additional seedlings to thrive for future use.
