Friends of Whittemore WhittemoreCCC promotes arts and environmental education and a deep appreciation of the natural wonders of Tewksbury Township. Whittemore.

It is managed by The Friends of Whittemore, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Whittemore - Community, Culture & Conservation
Our 180-acre sanctuary was bequeathed to Tewksbury Township by our beloved Helen A. She was a nature lover and diarist who wanted her land and house to be preserved so that others might be awed by the natural world and inspired by its beauty to document and preserve it. Our sanctuary includes Whittemore House, a welcome and education center, and Whittemore Meadow, which offer 11 miles of trails for hiking, and dog walking. Trails traverse mainly wooded areas with wetlands, ravines, and hilly terrain. The sanctuary also serves as the perfect stage for birders and nature lovers to view local avian species and other wildlife.

Join John for an immersive experience delving into the world of locally sourced clay. Students will explore local clay history, as well as learning methods for finding, identifying, harvesting, refining, and utilizing clay from your surroundings. Discover the chemistry and science behind refining local clay, along with testing for usability. Dive into discussions on methodologies and aesthetics, covering material manipulation, form, firing, and finish. And then walk the grounds of Whittemore to harvest clay for your own piece.

A wonderful opportunity to explore your own creativity and connect with the art of ceramics!

🌿 WHERE NATURE BECOMES A PLACE TO PAUSE 🍂

There is something magical about autumn at Whittemore — the changing leaves, the crisp air, and the quiet beauty of the forest.

This Saturday, October 24th at 1:00 PM, we invite you to slow down, reconnect, and experience the restorative power of nature with Linda Brown-Kuhn for our Fall Forest Bathing experience.

🌳 Through gentle movement, mindfulness, and sensory exploration, Linda will guide you on a peaceful journey through Whittemore's beautiful woodlands — an opportunity to unplug, breathe deeply, and simply be.

✨ No experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to embrace the moment.
