Department of Parks and Recreation

Teachers, Parents, Students: Our Virtual Nature Lessons are a growing collection of videos done in our Ocean County Parks and hosted by our Park Naturalists.

Many of these videos were done during times of COVID-19, with limited class trips and outdoor activities, we wanted to offer you the Ocean County Park’s experience…virtually. We will continure to add more.

Some of these videos were FaceBook Live-streams and they are all now available on YouTube. We are in the process of filming more.
