Velia Sponsors Flat Rock Brook’s Jones Road Streamside Restoration Project with $50,000 grant
PSEG Grants $5,000 to FRB in support of Environmental Education
PSEG has generously awarded Flat Rock Brook a $5,000 grant in support of our Environmental Education programming. We have been offering environmental education studies to local schools, groups and community members since 1974. Our program reaches over 5,100 children and adults annually. Our programs are taught by our staff naturalists to students from over 25 schools in Bergen County through both outreach at schools and onsite at our 150-acre preserve. Flat Rock Brook is grateful for PSE&G’s continued support of our important work in the community.

I also look forward to helping our Executive Director and Board on our major capital projects, including the Jones Road Restoration and Boardwalk improvements, which will greatly enhance our visitors' experience at Flat Rock Brook. I'm honored to have the opportunity to continue the legacy of land conservation and environmental education that led our founders to create this wonderful preserve for the enjoyment of all.”
