Welcome

Edison Wetlands Association (EWA) is a grassroots non-profit organization dedicated to protecting human health and the environment through conservation and the cleanup of hazardous waste sites. EWA was founded in 1989 to address issues such as open space preservation and the hazardous waste contamination at the Chemical Insecticide Corporation Superfund Site (CIC) in Edison, New Jersey. After 15 years of EWA’s advocacy, our work on CIC now serves as a national model for effective grassroots advocacy, earning us a profile in a national bestseller and the 1997 Environmental Quality Award—the USEPA’s highest honor.

CIC was just the start for EWA, which now works on 60 hazardous waste sites throughout central New Jersey. Many of these sites impact human health and the environment, some are examples of environmental justice and others have potential as Brownfields-to-Greenfields projects. EWA still works on wildlife conservation land preservation issues. In 2000, we purchased the Triple C Ranch and Nature Center, the last remaining farm in Edison, located in the heart of the Dismal Swamp Conservation Area. This outdoor classroom and nature preserve offers exciting environmental education programs for children and community groups.
