ENVIRONMENTALIST’S MESSAGE

Welcome to the Bunker Hill Environmental Education Center, nestled on 95.63 acres located in the historic town of Griggstown, Franklin Township, New Jersey. The site consists of a deciduous forest, known as Graeber Woods – a meadow, marsh area and the Simonson Brook. There is a one-mile self-guided nature trail, which winds through these various areas. Also located on our site is the “Glass House” which is used as a classroom and conference center.

The programs at the Center are designed as an integral part of the Franklin Township Public School curriculum. They incorporate each of the magnet themes as they provide hands-on lessons in “nature’s classroom” – the field, forest, stream and marsh on the Center’s property. Students in Franklin Township, grades one through seven participate in an environmental lesson once a year. Please browse through our link on Nature Programs to get an idea of the types of lessons we teach. Special programs are available to all teachers in the district by request. We also provide nature and adventure programs for community groups upon request.

The property is open to the public daily from 8:00am to sunset. We hope that you might take the opportunity to visit our special site and enjoy a quiet stroll on our nature trail. Parking is available at the 287 Bunker Hill Road entrance. Please feel free to call us if you have questions about the center or our programs.
