All year long, D&R Greenway hosts events at the Johnson Education Center, our home in Princeton, New Jersey. The center is a venue for professional workshops and public programs covering a range of topics relevant to land preservation and stewardship.
D&R Greenway’s presenting partners include the Garden State Preservation Trust and
the Princeton Environmental Institute.
All activities at the Johnson Education Center are designed to raise awareness about the importance of protecting land and the local, regional and even global benefits of doing so. We hope to inspire a conservation ethic that results in an increased public commitment to land preservation and stewardship.
