The Rutgers University Ecological Preserve (RUEP), previously known as Kilmer Woods, is a nature teaching area owned by Rutgers University. This 370 acre tract of land is part of the Livingston Campus of Rutgers and is located within the townships of Piscataway, Edison, and Highland Park. It contains a wide variety of plant life and supports a range of wood dwelling creatures.

The RUEP is a popular place for hikers and mountain bikers in the central NJ area, especially Rutgers students. It contains challenging terrain that is very close to campus.
