Occupying more than 425 acres of the Great Swamp Basin, the Center is home to a diversity of wildflowers, grasses, shrubs, and saplings, all of which provide an excellent wildlife habitat. This is one of the most beautiful areas anywhere.
A number of great School Programs are available for grades pre-K and up. They last from 1 to 3 hours (can be more for specially designed programs), and here are a few samples:
Special Programming for students (grades 2 - 12) who have already done a program at EEC utilizes other Somerset County Parks, such as the Leonard J. Buck Garden, Colonial Park Arboretum, and others, for in-depth studies of the flora and fauna of these areas. These and many other programs are delivered by professionals in their fields. Workshops are available for teachers as well as students. Two special winter programs, The Great Environmental Magic Show and Maple Sugaring, are real treats kids will love and learn from. Other special exhibits and events throughout the year make this a very special place for school groups, individuals, and families. Birthday Parties here for children five and older can have one of these themes: Super Science, Where the Wild Things Live or Cool Critters.
