The Meadowlands Commission and the Bergen County Audubon Society are teaming for two great walks this Sunday.

At 10 a.m., we celebrate the fourth anniversary of our first  First-Sunday walk with a walk around DeKorte Park, looking for Black Skimmers, Forster’s Terns, orioles, dargonflies, butterflies and more.

We hope to check out the newly reopened Lyndhurst Nature Reserve as well. Full details below. (Bring sunblock, bug spray and water).

If you can stay for the 1 p.m. Butterflies for Beginners Talk and walk, bring a lunch and sit outside or in the Marshview Pavilion and enjoy the sights.

At 1 p.m., we”ll start our Butterflies for Beginners event with a talk in the MEC auditorium. then walk around DeKorte park to see what little treasures we might find.

Should be a great day. We hope you can join us!
