Want to see the legendary Harrier Meadow but haven't been able to attend one of the Bergen Audubon/Meadowlands Commission Tuesday morning walks?
Do we have a walk for you! By popular demand, we are having a Sunday Harrier Meadow walk this weekend.
The aerial view of Harrier Meadow above (shouldn't all aerial views be above?) was taken late last summer by the Meadowlands Environmental Research Institute.
A blog post on that photography is here. More on MERI is here.
Details on the Sunday Harrier Meadow walk — and another Harrier Meadow walk on Tuesday, April 22 — are below.
Sunday, April 11, 10 a.m.
