Somerset County Park Commission Environmental Education Center – Basking Ridge, NJ

Our task was to create a cost effective state-of-the-art Environmental Education Center. The new Education Center is nestled within 425 acres of the western portion of the Great Swamp Basin of the Passaic River. The variety of habitats of floodplains, swamps, rivers, intermittent streams, marshes, meadows, and natural and man-made ponds, fields, and forests provide homes for diverse plant and animal populations in this environmentally sensitive park. All are within walking distances of the Education Center. The all new Education Center exhibition opened February 16, 2017. It provides visitors with a “user’s guide” to how to experience the natural surroundings.
