MCT Thanks AmeriCorps NCCC for Kane Tract Cleanup

April 2018…

The Meadowlands Conservation Trust extends its thanks to the FEMA/AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) program, whose members volunteered for a cleanup at the edge of the Kane Tract in South Hackensack on Saturday, April 21. They were joined by NJSEA staffer Colleen Mercado, her husband David Mercado, and MCT Consultant Don Smith.

Seven AmeriCorps NCCC members participated in the cleanup and helped fill 30 garbage bags with debris from the site. The Kane Tract is a critical wetlands restoration area and AmeriCorps NCCC’s help was greatly appreciated. Casey Godfrey of FEMA/AmeriCorps NCCC reached out to the MCT to help the environment as part of his group’s Global Youth Service Day. Casey’s team is currently serving at FEMA Region II Headquarters in New York City and is housed in Secaucus.

The AmeriCorps NCCC program focuses on a wide variety of service and project areas including direct response and recovery to natural and other disasters, infrastructure improvement, environmental stewardship and conservation, energy conservation, and urban and rural development.

MCT Trustee Greg Remaud Named NY/NJ Baykeeper Acting Executive Director

February 2018…
The Meadowlands Conservation Trust (MCT) is proud to congratulate Trustee Greg Remaud on his appointment as the Acting Executive Director of the NY/NJ Baykeeper. Remaud, a member of the organization for over 20 years, was previously its Deputy Director. The NY/NJ Baykeeper is a vital environmental advocacy group that has helped to preserve over 10,000 acres of open space in the NY-NJ Harbor Estuary. The Baykeeper Board of Trustees voted to name Remaud as Acting Executive Director this month.

“Greg Remaud has been a vigorous, unwavering advocate and fighter for the health of the NY-NJ Harbor Estuary and the protection of all of New Jersey’s critical natural resources for more than two decades,” said Bill Sheehan, Chairman of the MCT. “The Trust has experienced firsthand Greg’s incredible wealth of knowledge and tireless passion for environmental conservation. We are extremely proud of his well-deserved appointment.”

The NY/NJ Baykeeper’s mission is to protect, preserve, and restore the ecological integrity and productivity of the NY-NJ Harbor Estuary. Its efforts include helping to shape and enforce water quality, land use, and coastal policies; preserving  remaining wildlife habitat in the NY/NJ Harbor Estuary through land acquisition, innovation planning, and ecological restoration; and repopulating the New York and New Jersey bays with oysters and creating sustainable habitat in order to monitor and improve the health of the estuary’s ecosystem.

“I applaud the NY/NJ Baykeeper for its excellent decision to choose Greg Remaud as its Acting Executive Director,” said Christine Sanz, Chief Executive Officer of the MCT. “Greg’s dedication to the environment, excellent work on behalf of the Baykeeper, and proven leadership skills make him a tremendous asset to the NY/NJ Baykeeper, the MCT, and important ecosystems around the State of New Jersey.”
