In 1993, Doris Duke left behind a 2,700-acre New Jersey estate; 30 years later, the property is being transformed into a laboratory for restoring wetlands, forests and wildlife

A sprawling New Jersey estate once associated with industrialist J.B. Duke and philanthropist Doris Duke is taking on a very different role. Today, Duke Farms is being used as a living laboratory where nature restoration, wildlife conservation and clean energy strategies are tested in real-world conditions, as per a report by the Duke Farms.

The 2,700-acre campus in Hillsborough, New Jersey, contains more than 100 buildings alongside forests, wetlands, agricultural grasslands, meadows and designed landscapes.
