Promoting and Improving Environmental Education for people of all ages in New Jersey

PROGRAM COMMITTEE FOR SOUTHERN REGION

Chairperson: Michelle Bellinger

The Southern Region of ANJEE represents members living in the eight southernmost counties in New Jersey, including Burlington, Ocean, Camden Atlantic, Gloucester, Salem, Cape May and Cumberland Counties. It consists of a major portion of the Inner and Outer Coastal Plain regions of the state. Geographically it is the largest region in the state.

With a focus on networking, our meetings are held at different facilities and feature changing topics or themes. Join us to learn about new resources, stay current on environmental news, and enjoy an informal, relaxed gathering. Members and nonmembers are invited to share ideas and resources. Typically our meetings include a potluck meal.

Everyone is welcome, whether they attend regularly or can only attend occasionally.
