Become an Annual Member

There are many reasons to become a member of TNC. Some members hike in every season, attend programs, volunteer their talents and serve on committees; others read the newsletter or call the staff to ask nature questions. However you participate, being a member of TNC creates a local community — and together, we can “Enrich our lives through nature.”

As a member-supported, non-profit organization, membership is critical to our mission. Tenafly Nature Center is an independent organization and does not receive state or county support.
