Dedicated to the conservation of the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in Morris County, NJ
The long-awaited Helen C. Fenske Visitor Center at Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge has become a reality but there is still much that needs to be done in order to realize the potential of this new visitor facility.
The Friends of Great Swamp NWR are launching a fundraising campaign by selling engraved commemorative bricks for placement at the Visitor Center.
Your gift will help fund visitor exhibits, landscaping and demonstration gardens, nature trails and observation blinds, new educational and interpretive programs for school and scout groups, families, and adults.

Commemorative Brick Campaign
Help us in creating a path to the future…one brick at a time.
The Friends of Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge are pleased to offer a unique opportunity to mark your legacy at the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge by purchasing a personalized commemorative brick which will be prominently placed at the Helen C. Fenske Visitor Center.
The engraved bricks come in three different formats: a 4x8 inch brick with up to three lines of text for $150; an 8x8 inch brick with up to six lines of text for $300; and an 8x8 inch brick with an engraved blue goose and up to four lines of text for $350.
A laser engraving technique is used which burns into the face of the brick creating an engraving that is naturally dark and completely permanent.
The engraved bricks may be purchased in honor of or in memory of friends or loved ones, to honor Helen Fenske’s legacy, or may contain your favorite quote to inspire visitors — the choice is up to you.
