The ECO-TOURS of Edison are organized by the Edison Greenways Group, Middlesex Greenway Coalition, and the Edison Open Space Advisory Committee to give residents a chance to see some of the most interesting and environmentally important areas of Edison.
Our 25th Year is highlighting Edison's 150th Anniversary. Since 1995, hundreds of people have gone on these walks and hikes.
The tours are open to the public, and will last approximately 2 hours.
Bring something to drink, binoculars, compass, notepad, and bird book.
Please wear appropriate clothing, and waterproof footwear. The walks can be tough and wet. There are no restroom facilities on the outdoor tours.
Before each tour call 732-906-0529 for cancellation information. Due to bad weather, or other causes, a tour may be postponed.
