Why West Orange, NJ has unusual wildlife and rodent pressure
West Orange is one of the largest townships in Essex County by area — about 12 square miles — and most of that land sits on the slopes of the First and Second Watchung Mountains. The town's defining geographic features are its extensive wooded terrain, four major reservation parks, and the elevation change running through the township. That combination creates substantially more wildlife pressure than flatter, denser Essex County towns experience.
The South Mountain Reservation on the township's southern edge is one of the largest wildlife refuges in the metropolitan area, providing year-round habitat for deer, gray squirrels, raccoons, opossums, skunks, foxes, and the occasional black bear. Surrounding residential neighborhoods absorb the overflow. Pressure is especially heavy in homes near Eagle Rock Reservation, the wooded residential blocks along Pleasant Valley Way, and homes near Mount Pleasant Avenue bordering the reservation. The historic Llewellyn Park neighborhood, with its mature tree canopy and 19th-century housing, sees consistent squirrel and rodent activity every fall.
