Conservation * Education * Recreation 

The Closter Nature Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of 136-acres of woods, streams, wetlands and trails in downtown, Closter, New Jersey. Our Board is also dedicated to the idea that hands-on education and enjoyment of our natural world is important and necessary.

After-School Classes

Our on-site naturalist teaches fun and informative programming for Pre-K all the way through high school.
