Celebrate the Winter Solstice with a walk and talk at DeKorte Park tomorrow, beginning at 9 a.m.

We’ll begin with an 90-minute walk near the Meadowlands Environment Center.

Then, at 11:30, we'll listen to a talk about the Sun by Laura Venner, a NASA solar system ambassador and MEC educator.

We have been seeing a Long-Tailed Duck of late — a really good bird for this area — and we will see if we can get that. Will post more on the duck later today.

The walk is run by the N.J. Meadowlands Commission and the Bergen County Audubon Society.

Check meadowblog.net for last-minute weather updates. You will have to sign a standard liability release for this event.
