An important wetland ecosystem in New Jersey, the Meadowlands have experienced development and urbanization in a way few other wetland complexes have. Arranged by Hackensack Riverkeeper and the Puffin Cultural Forum, Teaneck Creek Conservancy invites author Erik Kiviat to present the findings from book he recently published with Kristi MacDonald: Urban Diversity - The Natural History of the NJ Meadowlands. As the northern edge of the Meadowlands Complex these lessons will resonate for Teaneck Creek! "Kiviat and MacDonald delve into the considerable biodiversity of an ecologically battered urban-industrial region, addressing wild species from lichens to mammals. The results will help decision makers foster wildlife and plants that can cope with urban conditions and will aid in reducing loss of biodiversity in urbanizing areas"-- Provided by publisher. teen to adult Indoors In-Person Covid Policy • Events are open to a limited audience up to 70 persons • Properly fitting KN95 or N95 masks are required indoors This is our first reopening program for May.
