Edison Wetlands Association

Edison Wetlands Association is a non-profit organization based in Edison, New Jersey. With a small team of 3 employees, they are dedicated to protecting human health and the environment. Founded in 1989, they focus on conservation efforts and the cleanup of hazardous waste sites. The organization's primary mission is to ensure the thorough and timely cleanup of dangerous toxic sites in New Jersey. They advocate for the balanced redevelopment of Brownfield sites, promoting the creation of open spaces, recreational lands, and wildlife habitat while providing economic incentives. EWA has successfully protected significant natural areas, including the Dismal Swamp Conservation Area, a 1,200-acre wildlife refuge in the Lower Raritan Watershed. This area, known as the "Everglades of Central Jersey," is vital for clean water supply. The organization operates from their headquarters at the Triple C Ranch, the last farm in Edison and the gateway to the Dismal Swamp Conservation Area. They offer a range of educational programs to inform children and families about the importance of environmental conservation.
