Third-Tuesday-of-the-Month Nature Walk with the NJMC and BCAS 
This free two-hour guided walk in DeKorte Park includes a stretch of nearby Disposal Road, one of the very best places to watch (and photograph) winter raptors in the entire region. We’ll meet just inside the Environment Center. The walk is run by the N.J. Meadowlands Commission and the Bergen County Audubon Society. Check meadowblog.net for last-minute updates and weather advisories.  To rsvp, contact Don Torino of the BCAS or call 201-230-4983.
