A Field Guide to New Jersey Nature Centers

By Patricia Contreras, Patricia Contreras Held, P.C. Held

New Jersey, with a landscape characterized by mountains, forests, coastlines, farms, swamps, and the Pine Barrens, is one of the ecologically richest states in the nation. This guide gives detailed information and maps for about thirty nature centers, environmental education centers, arboretums, and similar facilities throughout the state of New Jersey that are open on a regular schedule year round to the general public. Marked trails, well-designed exhibits, and a trained staff all contribute to the visitor's experience. Each center also offers programs of classes for the public and special groups. This convenient guidebook can be taken along on outings throughout the state and used as a reference for interesting nature stops along the way. It includes a list of major annual events at various nature centers, a list of environmental organizations in the state, and a bibliography.
