Our mission is to promote public awareness of our natural parklands and encourage families to participate in outdoor recreation and leisure activities within New Jersey's natural habitat. We are eager to expand the use of New Jersey's public lands, converting them into outdoor 'classrooms,' in which children and adults alike can partake of the wisdom that 'retreating back to nature' provides. Our mission, when accomplished, will improve the state of natural science, environmental education and environmental awareness, as a study and a general practice, within New Jersey's school systems as well as New Jersey's diverse social circles.
