As a resident of Moonachie for more than 40 years and education chairman of the Bergen County Audubon Society, it did my heart good to read about the Meadowlands restoration project going on right in our back yard.

We have come a very long way over the years, from a place that once was the butt of jokes and looked at as a dumping ground to a pristine wildlife refuge that has nature lovers visiting from all over. In our lifetime, very few natural places have gotten better. The Meadowlands is one of them, a natural gem right in our own neighborhood.

With DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst, Mill Creek Marsh in Secaucus and now the restoration project in Carlstadt, we should be proud and grateful to everyone who has worked so hard to make the Meadowlands the amazing place that it is.

And it’s just getting better. Everyone should visit one of these great places to witness the comeback of great birds such as the osprey and peregrine falcon.
