The company recently founded the Haworth Environmental Center , where biologists , wildlife advocates , beekeepers , experts on invasive species and many others hold interactive events for all ages at our new outdoor classrooms along a trail at the Oradell reservoir . The Center has a large xeriscape garden with exhibits to teach the public how to grow beautiful flowers and plants without straining the environment with chemicals , pesticides and the constant need for water . We also reach thousands of residents each year with our Watershed Recreation Program , where members hike and fish on our properties – and learn about how they can help protect the watersheds . Meanwhile , our Reservoir Rangers Program provides fun opportunities for children to take those important first steps in becoming good caretakers of the earth .
Our team of educators visit more than 500 classrooms a year across the state , teaching more 10,000 K-12 students about ecology , the water cycle and environmentalism .
