Kearny Marsh Cleanup with the NJMC, BCAS and Northern New Jersey Geocachers
06/03/2012
As part of National Trail Day Weekend, the N.J. Meadowlands Commission is sponsoring a two-hour clean-up at the Kearny Marsh. We will clean the trails by foot, and the marsh by canoe. We’ll meet at the northeast corner of the Gunnell Oval off Schuyler Avenue at 10 a.m. (directions are on meadowblog.net in the left-hand column), or you can also meet us at the visitors’ parking lot at DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst by 9:40 a.m. and we can carpool.
We’ll supply trash bags and water, but bring your own weed clippers and work gloves. We’ll also supply canoes, paddles and life vests. The cleanup is co-sponsored by the Bergen County Audubon Society and Northern New Jersey Cachers, a geocaching group. Waste Management is providing the Dumpster. A bring-your-own picnic lunch will follow.
Check meadowblog.net for last-minute updates and weather advisories. You will have to sign a standard liability release that is good for NJMC/BCAS events throughout the year. To rsvp, contact Don Torino of the BCAS at greatauk4@aol.com or 201-230-4983.
