Don’t forget the free Butterfly Walk at DeKortePark in Lyndhurst on Sunday at 1 p.m. – co-sponsored by the N.J. Meadowlands Commission and the Bergen County Audubon Society.

   Get started learning how to identify the Butterflies of the Meadowlands and the plants that attract them. Optics for butterflies and how to start your own backyard butterfly garden will be discussed briefly, followed by a walk.  Let’s hope the butterflies cooperate! (P.S. We shot the photo at left at lunchtime at DeKorte Park today.)

  To help us with a head count, please rsvp to Jim Wright at jim.wright@njmeadowlands.gov  or the BCAS’ Don Torino, greatauk4@aol.com, if you have not done so already…
