Visit Our Conservation Management Area!
You’re invited to explore our Conservation Management Area (CMA), a wooded 53-acre natural area in Harding Township that’s open to the public for walking and casual hiking. Though GSWA holds a number of scheduled events throughout the year — family hikes, group tours, and moonlight walks to name a few, you can enjoy the CMA on your own at your convenience [read more] [directions] [Trail Guide].
Educator Workshops
Great Swamp Watershed Association is facilitating several interesting and useful workshops for K-12 formal and non-formal educators. Educators will experience activities they can use back in the classroom or Nature Center to teach across the educational curriculum.
