The Lawrence Brook Watershed Partnership, Inc. is a non-for-profit organization; the geographic area that we protect is located in Middlesex County, New Jersey, USA, about 35 miles south of New York City.
The Partnership was founded in 1997 to provide a unifying environmental force for the central New Jersey towns of North Brunswick, South Brunswick, East Brunswick, the Borough of Milltown, and the City of New Brunswick, all of which have land within the 48-square-mile Lawrence Brook Watershed. Most of our activities are done by volunteers, of all ages, and backgrounds (scientists, teachers, engineers, college students, high school students, retirees, canoeists, bicycle riders, nature lovers, fishermen, parent-and-child teams, and most of all, people who care about their community's natural resources). We are always looking for new volunteers; you are welcome to join us. www.lbwp.org
