The NJSEA thanks the BCAS for its generous $200 donation made this week to help the Authority beautify DeKorte Park through new plantings and other work. As always, the NJSEA’s Gabrielle Bennett-Meany (pictured above), who oversees work at DeKorte, will make sure the money is put to good use!
As we enter the most desperate time of year for our birds I thought I would share some helpful tips for getting our backyard birds through winter as best we can.
As we lose more and more natural places to development and the land that is left may lack the biodiversity needed to sustain wildlife, our backyards become that much more important to the survival of many birds and other wildlife.
Small and seemingly insignificant backyards now become an oasis for birds that will depend on your yard to make it through the harsh winter months.
Join the Bergen County Audubon Society for a guided nature walk through Harrier Meadow in North Arlington from 10 am to noon tomorrow, Thursday, Oct. 18. The pristine natural area is normally closed to the public, even more reason not to miss this opportunity!
Will Hugo the Hudsonian Godwit, recently photographed by NJSEA naturalists, still be there? Come along and find out!

You’ve got two chances this week to enjoy a Meadowlands nature walk led by the Bergen County Audubon Society.
Tomorrow, Tuesday Oct. 16, they’ll be at DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst; on Thursday, Oct. 18 they move on up Disposal Road to Harrier Meadow in North Arlington. Both walks are 10 am to noon.
It’s a great way to experience DeKorte, the gem of the Meadowlands park system, and Harrier Meadow, a pristine natural area normally closed to the public. They’ll be keeping their eyes peeled for for fall migrants, waterfowl, shorebirds and more.

Thanks to Marco van Brabant for these great photos of Least Sandpipers taken recently on the Saw Mill Trail in DeKorte. A great way to start the week!
