Our Story
Dimock Environmental Research Center is the vision of a coalition of impacted residents who grew tired of Non-Disclosure agreements making further scientific research at residential properties impossible once a contamination event occurred. The Kemble property is in the heart of fracking country and the center of one of the largest pollution events related to hydraulic fracturing AKA fracking known to the public. We allow scientists to continue their work, even after a pollution event occurs. We also offer an inside scoop to journalists and filmmakers.
