The 28th Annual Barnegat Bay Environmental Educators Roundtable was held on Wednesday, April 16, 2025 at the Lighthouse Center for Natural Resource Education, Waretown, NJ. Our 2025 theme was Caring for Our Precious Natural Resources: Considering Conservation, Climate and Community.
This year’s theme, “Sustainable Connections”, aims to spotlight the symbiotic relationship between the cultural, historical, and natural resources that define the uniqueness and ecological significance of the Barnegat Bay watershed. By focusing on soils, compost, and food waste, we aspire to underscore the role of educators in fostering a deeper understanding of sustainability and environmental stewardship.
