The NJ School of Conservation is the oldest and largest university-operated Environmental Education facility in the nation, annually serving thousands of students and teachers from kindergarten through college since 1949. Nestled on 240 pristine acres in Stokes State Forest in northwest New Jersey, our location offers a unique opportunity for hands-on education. More than 40 interactive sessions provide field experiences in environmental and social sciences, humanities and outdoor pursuits. Students ‘learn by doing’ and by having fun outdoors. Their questions and interests drive the sessions, effectively encouraging critical thinking, environmental responsibility and self-confidence in an informal, structured atmosphere.
