Each year thousands of pounds of produce are grown at our Hawthorne Avenue Farm and hydroponic greenhouse. Our urban agricultural sites produce, quite literally, tons of fresh fruits and vegetables each year right here in Newark's South Ward. All our delicious goods can be purchased at our mobile farm stand, which travels throughout Newark to connect residents with healthy food options.
Greater Newark Conservancy offers hands-on, inquiry based environmentally themed programs. The Conservancy’s professional staff is a partner in educating your students.
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.
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.
