Our next free guided walk with Bergen County Audubon is Tuesday, Oct. 15, at 10 a.m. at Losen Slote Creek Park in Little Ferry — a great time of year to visit this little-known diamond in the rough. You gotta love those birches (above).

Don Torino of BCAS did some weed-whacking this morning to make the trails passable (thanks, Don!), but prepared to navigate some trails that can be occasionally challenging, including a few fallen trees.

Some photos from this morning follow — just to give you an idea how amazing this place is — and that’s not even the wooded part.

Full listing below.

Third-Tuesday-of-the Month Walk with the NJMC and BCAS
This free two-hour nature walk starts at the entrance to Losen Slote Creek Park in Little Ferry. We’ll look for warblers and other fall birds – and pick up any litter we find  along the way. The walk is run by the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission and the Bergen County Audubon Society. Check meadowblog.net for last-minute weather updates. You will have to sign a standard liability release for this event that is good for NJMC/BCAS events throughout the year. To rsvp, contact Don Torino of the BCAS at greatauk4@aol.com or 201-230-4983.
