Thanks to Dee DeSantis for these great photos of the American White Pelican and friends from yesterday’s DeKorte walk! The next BCAS Meadowlands walk is Sunday, Oct. 1, at Losen Slote Creek Park in Little Ferry, from 10 am to noon. For more info email greatauk4@gmail.com or call 201-230-4983. Hope to see you there!

NJSEA naturalists spent time this summer constructing and placing Wood Duck boxes in the Meadowlands. Check it out!

On approximately 40 non-consecutive days between Oct. 1, 2017,  and June 11, 2018, boaters will not be able to go further south on the Hackensack River than the Hudson Generating Station in Jersey City. This is due to the placement of the new center span on the Wittpenn Bridge  that spans Jersey City to Kearny.

Closure dates will be posted on the USCG website notice page at https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=lnmDistrict&region=1 as they become available. Boaters can register at the site to receive weekly notices. There is a link at the top left hand corner of the page to register with their email notification service.
