Our youngest Diamondback Terrapin, Squishy, is growing and in need of a new fish tank. I was wondering if anyone has a tank that is capable of holding water that they would like to donate.
The tank will need to be at least 36 inches long with a height not exceeding 21 inches.
Please e-mail me at Education.Information (at) njmeadowlands.gov
Thank you!

Folks who enjoy birding along Disposal Road should be aware that two new speed bumps have been installed on Disposal Road near the access point of the North Arlington DPW (as you travel towards Schuyler).
These bumps were installed in order to create a safer roadway and, in particular, a safer intersection.
As always, be on the lookout for vehicles on all stretches of the roadway.
