Valley National Bank Volunteer Work Day

As part of its water quality and stewardship mission, Great Swamp Watershed Association owns and manages 73 acres of forested wetlands in Harding Township, known as the Conservation Management Area (CMA) and located within Great Swamp watershed. This property is part of a developing open space greenway upstream of the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in Morris County, NJ.

Our goal is to restore the property to increase its biological diversity, making it a better place for animals to live, and consequently a better place for individuals to come and observe wildlife. In order to manage the CMA, we rely heavily on the generosity of volunteers. Over 2,000 volunteer hours are logged annually at this and other GSWA sites. 95% of our land management comes from corporate work groups who, through their philanthropy or team building events, contribute a day of work at our site to help us towards fulfilling our mission.
