Mission
Greater Newark Conservancy promotes environmental stewardship to improve the quality of life in New Jersey’s urban communities.
Greater Newark Conservancy envisions each and every individual in our community living healthy, productive lives in harmony with nature. We commit to centering equity and opportunity in all our programs and throughout our organization.
To advance this vision, we create opportunities for people to engage in community gardening and farming; to access locally grown, nutritious produce; to experience personal growth through environmental education, youth leadership training, and support for returning citizens; and to invest in our neighborhoods through collaboration with partner organizations to plant seeds, to grow community, to change lives.
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 with us
Get outside and enjoy some nature at our Outdoor Learning Center or Urban Farm! Volunteers are a vital part of Greater Newark Conservancy’s mission and operations. You can volunteer as an individual or as a group.
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.
