Discovery CenterEco-Corps: "Think Globally, Act Locally"
Eco-Corps is an experiential learning initiative for teenagers from Summit, Springfield, New Providence and Berkeley Heights. A collaborative effort between Reeves-Reed Arboretum and the Summit Area Y, environmental science is taught through a variety of conservation and restoration projects that use the Arboretum’s woodlands, New Jersey-designated wetland area, landscaped gardens and greenhouse as an outdoor classroom. The program is offered for four weeks during the summer months, culminating with an off-site project where Eco-Corps participants utilize their newly acquired skills. This initiative is made possible through a grant from the Summit Area Public Foundation and the Royal Bank of Canada.
The design for this website has been made possible through an Institutional and Financial Stabilization Grant from the New Jersey Cultural Trust.
