The Meadowlands Commission is pleased to announce an official publication date of Oct. 15 for the coffee-table book “The Nature of the Meadowlands,” by the NJMC's own Jim Wright.
With a foreword by Governor Thomas H. Kean, the lavishly illustrated, 128-page book illuminates the region's natural and unnatural history — including its darkest days of a half-century ago and its inspiring environmental revival.
The book also celebrates the amazing landscapes and parks to be found here, including DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst, the Kearny Marsh and Laurel Hill in Secaucus.
In addition, The Nature of the Meadowlands features dozens of striking images, including present-day nature and landscape photography, pictures of an old Secaucus pig farm, a "Sopranos" landmark, a Harp Seal in Carlstadt, an Eastern Coyote on a Meadowlands landfill, and rare Laurel Hill minerals. In short, expect the unexpected.
“The Nature of the Meadowlands” is a great resource and beautiful keepsake — and the perfect gift for the upcoming holidays.
