Mission

Greater Newark Conservancy promotes environmental stewardship to improve the quality of life in New Jersey’s urban communities.

We achieve our mission through our inter-related program areas: Environmental Education, Community Greening & Urban Agriculture, Environmental Justice Advocacy, and Job Training. We invite you to peruse the website to learn more about all our programs, what we do, and how you can get involved!

Learn something new.

Greater Newark Conservancy offers hands-on, inquiry based environmentally themed programs. The Conservancy’s professional staff is a partner in educating your students.

Volunteer on a Farm.

Greater Newark Conservancy relies on the assistance of good-hearted volunteers who take time out of their busy lives to help us at our farms and gardens.

Visit Our Center.

We’re very proud that the opening of our Judith L. Shipley Urban Environmental Center in 2004 marked the very first appearance of an urban environmental center in New Jersey.
