Prize-winning author and artist Thomas F. Yezerski, whose stunning book “Meadowlands: A Wetlands Survival Story” was on several 2011 “Ten Best” lists, is exhibiting the illustrations from the book in the DeKorte Park’s  Flyway Gallery through the end of March.

On Sunday, Feb. 5, from noon-1:30 p.m., Tom will give a short talk and slide show on the book, and then be available to inscribe a copy for you, and you'll be able to see the original illustrations up-close.

This free family-friendly event is sponsored by the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission and Bergen County Audubon Society. The Meadowlands Environment Center is located in DeKorte Park, Lyndhurst.

Signed copies of the book are available at a special discounted price at the MEC’s Tideland Treasures Gift Shop. Contact the NJMC’s Jim Wright at 201-460-2002 or jim.wright@njmeadowlands.gov for more information.
