Don Torino sent these photos he took last week of Mill Creek Marsh in Secaucus. “There’s no place more beautiful in fall than Mill Creek Marsh,” Don notes. With the weather staying relatively warm this week, now is a great time to hit the many trails, parks and natural areas in the Meadowlands and experience the breathtaking scenery and wildlife.

For those of you unfamiliar with Mill Creek Marsh, you can access the marsh trail from the Mill Creek Mall – park next to Bob’s Discount Furniture. Look for Don’s next “Life in the Meadowlands” column, on the Eastern Red Cedar tree, on Thursday.
