The exhibit includes Nature's finest images from around the globe submitted by the Camera Naturalists, a specialty club dedicated exclusively to the art of nature photography.

The Somerset County Park Commission Environmental Education Center is nestled within the western portion of the Great Swamp Basin of the Passaic River. The wide variety of habitats includes: floodplains, swamps, rivers, intermittent streams, marshes, meadows, fields, forests and natural and man-made ponds. These habitats provide homes for diverse plant and animal populations in this environmentally sensitive park. All are within walking distance of the multi-faceted building. An environmental-based library is located within the center itself. The Exhibit Hall annually hosts environmental-focused presentations that are free to the public. Please note that dog walking is prohibited on the trails at the Environmental Education Center.
