Don’t worry.

Though The Wetlands Institute will temporarily close its Stone Harbor Boulevard location for improvements, we’ll reopen with fall/winter hours on November 7th in our transitional location – the New Jersey Coastal Conservation Center (NJCCC) at 600 North Delsea Drive in Cape May Court House. We will be returning to our marsh home of more than 50 years when we complete our restoration and improvement work.

The NJCCC will house TWI staff, educational spaces, and our Tidepool Shop. Our research and conservation teams will continue their terrapin, marsh and coastal bird work uninterrupted.

We will continue to provide public programming and education programs from the NJCCC, including:

🕰️Opening to the public for our standard fall/winter weekend hours of 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM Saturdays and Sundays, beginning Saturday, November 7.

🌱Continuing partnerships for school field trips, homeschool classes for the 2026/2027 school year (including our monthly Nature Education for Homeschool Students and Teachers), and scout programs, though we might slightly modify some education programs.

📍Remember, you can visit us in our Stone Harbor Boulevard location through Monday, September 7.

🧭 We encourage you to visit us at the NJCCC – pictured in our post – and to explore the trails and native gardens, marsh overlooks, and the newly renovated space when we kick-off our fall/winter season November 7.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we reimagine our Stone Harbor Boulevard marsh home. You’re helping us change things for the better for people, communities, and wildlife.
