Located within the most populated
metropolitan area in the United States — just four miles from
our largest city, Manhattan — there lies a haven. It is being restored
to benefit wildlife — native plants and animals — and also to benefit
people by providing easy access to the wonders of Nature. Where? The
Meadowlands. This guide will take you there and to many other
wildlife-viewing sites in the Hackensack River watershed. Please, come
and see.
We have created three driving tours in the region. Click on the trail
names below to open a detailed map for each tour. The wildlife-viewing
destinations on the tours are marked with numbers in a circle.
When you click on a circled number, or on the list of destinations below
each map, you will open a page containing detailed directions and site
information for that destination. Detailed directions
on the tour pages will guide you from one site to the next (not from a
central location or a nearby road).
