Celebrating National Public Lands Day

After two years, the annual Fall Festival is back! It’s a day of family-friendly fun for all ages. Activities will include target archery and the hoverball shooting gallery, river seining in the Passaic, guided tree and nature walks, as well as crafts for kids.

Play our giant jenga game, earn your Junior Refuge Manager badge, and download our nature smartphone app, “Agents of Discovery”. Enjoy the exhibits and displays from our Great Swamp partners. The Friends will serve free hot dogs from the grill and there is plenty of parking.

Welcome the Fall season and help celebrate your public lands at Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. Helen C. Fenske Visitor Center, 32 Pleasant Plains Road, Harding Township, NJ. Exit 30A from Route 287 – follow posted detour.
