First-Sunday-of-the Month Walk with the NJMC and BCAS
This free two-hour guided walk in DeKorte Park and nearby Disposal Road features raptors and waterfowl and early spring migrants. We’ll meet in the first parking lot at 10 a.m. (directions are on meadowblog.net in the left-hand column). The walk is run by the N. J. 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 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.
Can’t seem to find anywhere else to ask a question for a research project: do the various railroad lines coming up from Philadelphia cross the Meadowlands? if so, are the tracks built up on some sort of levees?
Thanks very much for any info you can give me at my email address.
