There's nice article in the South Bergenite today about our volunteer cleanups.
Here's the beginning:
Volunteer cleanup crews working with the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission (NJMC) and the the Bergen County Audubon Society (BCAS) in the Meadowlands for the past few weeks have been clearing away the litter and debris brought by the intense winds and devastating flooding of Hurricane Sandy.
"The Commission was able to bring Mill Creek Marsh, Harrier Meadow and part of DeKorte Park back online so quickly thanks to a tremendous effort by the NJMC landscape crew and the nearly 150 people who gave 269 hours of their time participating in five volunteer cleanups at these parks," said Marcia Karrow, Executive Director of the NJMC.
