What we’re about
The Gloucester County Nature Club (GCNC) was established in 1949, by a small group of Gloucester County, NJ residents with a common interest in the natural world. The Nature Club is a local nonprofit organization with no paid staff which strives to promote sound conservation practices and to educate others in the community about nature and the environment. The Nature Club provides monthly programs, field trips, and newsletters from September through June and special field trips in the summer months. In addition, the Nature Club holds special events throughout the year. Website: www.gcnatureclub.org
