The Flat Rock Brook Nature Center is a 150-acre (0.61km2) preserve and education center situated on the western slope of the Palisades in Englewood, New Jersey, United States of America. The Center was established in 1973 by citizens who were committed to land conservation and environmental education. This nature center has 3.6 miles of trails.
This natural woodland is one of the last remnants of the Palisades Forest. The Flat Rock Brook Nature Center is managed by the Flat Rock Brook Nature Association. Its purpose is to maintain and preserve the lands under its supervision as a natural sanctuary for plant and animal life in our urban area and as a natural environment available to the public for trail walks, nature study and other passive recreation.
It provides environmental education programs for all ages in order to generate understanding and appreciation of nature and to instill a sense of responsibility and knowledge of the means to protect the natural world and its resources for future generations.
A nature center (or nature centre) is an organization with a visitor center or interpretive center designed to educate people about nature and the environment. Usually located within a protected open space, nature centers often have trails through their property. Some are located within a state or city park, and some have special gardens or an arboretum. Their properties can be characterized as nature preserves and wildlife sanctuaries. Nature centers generally display small live animals, such as reptiles, rodents, insects, or fish. There are often museum exhibits and displays about natural history, or preserved mounted animals or nature dioramas. Nature centers are staffed by paid or volunteer naturalists and most offer educational programs to the general public, as well as summer camp, after-school and school group programs.
Some nature centers allow free admission but collect voluntary donations in order to help offset expenses. They usually rely on support from dedicated volunteers.
In search of a babbling brook, we recently discovered Flat Rock Brook Nature Center, in Edgewater, NJ just minutes over the GWB. This150-acre forest preserve has a perfect brook to play in, several short hiking paths, a playground, public bathrooms and lots of birds, chipmunks, butterflies and even cranes! We loved our afternoon cooling off here during a heat wave and and are sure to return.
