Edison Wetlands Association is a grassroots non-profit organization dedicated to protecting human health and the environment through conservation and the cleanup of hazardous waste sites since 1989.

The major focus of EWA is serving as the state leader in ensuring the thorough and timely cleanups of New Jersey’s most dangerous toxic sites. Since their incredible decade-long successful fight to clean up the Chemical Insecticide Corporation “green rabbits” site in Edison, EWA has continued to advocate on behalf of the Raritan River Watershed and beyond as a treasured natural resource.

EWA advocates for the balanced redevelopment of Brownfield sites to support creation of open space and recreational lands, enhance public access to our natural resources, and restore wildlife habitat, while also providing economic incentives from balanced redevelopment.

EWA has led the protection of the Dismal Swamp Conservation Area, a 1,200-acre at-risk wildlife refuge that stands as the only significant natural area left in the Lower Raritan Watershed. Known as the “Everglades of Central Jersey,” the Diz serves as a key source of clean water for the Lower Raritan.

Through their headquarters at the Triple C Ranch, the last farm in Edison and the gateway to the Dismal Swamp Conservation Area, and an ambitious outreach and education schedule, EWA provides programs to educate children and families on the importance of protecting our natural resources.
