Great photo by Mickey Raine of a group of students exploring DeKorte’s waters from the Marsh Discovery Trail. The kids were visiting as part of the Meadowlands Environment Center (MEC) environmental education school program for Grades K-12.

If you’re not familiar with the MEC, it is a program run through a partnership between the NJSEA and Ramapo College that offers students hands-on environmental learning experiences. It is a truly remarkable program. Read all about it here

Our first post since we’re back up and running spotlights this past Tuesday’s BCAS DeKorte walk, which was an especially good day for great photos of ducks. Thanks to Joe Koscielny for these! We’ll be posting more throughout the day.
