The Somerset County Park Commission Environmental Education Center is
nestled within the western portion of the Great Swamp Basin of the
Passaic River. The wide variety of habitats includes: floodplains,
swamps, rivers, intermittent streams, marshes, meadows, fields, forests,
and natural and man-made ponds. These habitats provide homes for
diverse plant and animal populations in this environmentally sensitive
park. All are within walking distance of the multi-faceted building. An
environmentally-based library is located within the Center itself. The
Exhibit Hall annually hosts environmentally-focused presentations that
are free to the public. The Environmental Education Center is open seven
days each week. Call 908-766-2489 for schedule updates.
