The Record had an interesting column by some guy on American Woodcocks today — just in time for this evening's free walk at Laurel Hill.

Link is here.

Don Torino, the president of the Bergen County Audubon Society, stopped by Meadowlands Commission headquarters this week to drop off a check for $200 to the commission for a new native plant garden at the Carillon on Disposal Road this summer.

The Accepting the check in the photo above is Marcia Karrow, NJMC’s executive director.

Half the donation was from Bergen Audubon, with a matching grant from National Audubon. (Thanks!)

The native plant garden is being designed to attract birds as well as butterflies. Can’t wait!
