Watershed Institute Inc

Education - the watershed institute serves more than 10,000 children and adults through nearly 400 education programs and events each year. Our programs inspire an appreciation of the wonders of nature and explain what we can do to protect our environment. Our teacher workshops train educators to incorporate the environment into their curriculums, while adult education programs teach strategies to reduce the environmental impacts of your home and business. At our nature center, you will discover an assortment of exhibits and a collection of small creatures. Surround yourself with butterflies (in season) at the kate gorrie memorial butterfly house.

Conservation - from our 950-acre watershed reserve in hopewell to locations across the region, volunteers and staff are engaged in projects that protect and restore natural habitats. We have also helped foster other important regional organizations over the years. In the 1980's, we helped launch the d&r greenway land trust and the northeast organic farming association of new jersey. Our watershed reserve hosts fairgrown organic farm. Through our watershed institute, we help build other watershed groups across the state.
