Earlier today members of the NJSEA Natural Resources Department and the Bergen County Audubon Society met at Losen Slote Creek Park in Little Ferry. Together they cleared fallen trees and branches from this month’s storm that blocked the trails and opened up overgrown trails. Great teamwork BCAS and NJSEA!
