Edison Wetlands Association is a small, grassroots nonprofit organization focused on protecting human health and the environment through the cleanup of hazardous waste sites and conservation efforts. Based in Edison, New Jersey, the group has pursued early and ongoing leadership in ensuring thorough, timely cleanups of dangerous toxic sites within New Jersey, drawing on decades of advocacy centered on the Raritan River Watershed and related natural resources. Its work encompasses promoting balanced redevelopment of Brownfield sites to support open space, public access, wildlife habitat restoration, and associated economic incentives tied to reuse and recreation. The organization operates from its headquarters at the Triple C Ranch, the last working farm in Edison and a gateway to nearby natural areas, and maintains an outreach program aimed at educating families and children about environmental protection. Edison Wetlands Association positions itself within the environmental services sector as a watchdog and advocate for land and water protection, with a focus on toxic-site cleanup and watershed stewardship. Its activities are oriented toward local communities in New Jersey, especially those impacted by contaminated sites, and toward preserving critical natural areas such as the Dismal Swamp Conservation Area, a 1,200-acre wildlife refuge. A notable collaboration mentioned in recent activity includes partnerships focused on environmental monitoring and air sampling related to historic industrial sites, reflecting the association’s role in community health and environmental monitoring.
