Jim Wright, who keeps this blog, will be giving a talk and slide show on his book “The Nature of the Meadowlands” on Friday, Sept. 27, at 8 p.m. at Allendale Borough Hall, 500 Crescent Ave., Allendale.

Signed copies of the book will be available for sale after the program, with proceeds going to benefit the NJMC’s educational programming.

As a bonus, recent wonderful and whimsical wildlife wood-carvings by the legendary Stiles Thomas will be on display.

The Star-Ledger review of the book is here.
