Friday’s Harrier Meadow Walk Is Still On

IMG_0366
   Despite the iffy weather, we are planning to move forward with the Harrier Meadow walk scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday. We'll meet at the Harrier Meadow entrance in North Arlington.

   Because Harrier Meadow is not usually open to the public, you will be required to sign a standard liability release.

   As of 3 p.m. Thursday, there was a 40 percent chance of rain, so please bring an umbrella and waterproof shoes if you are planning to attend. A walk in a light rain could be invigorating.

   If it's a complete washout, we will reschedule and post the new date and time on the blog.
   Sorry about the uncertainty, but perhaps some of the vaunted May flowers will result.
