If you are a caring individual concerned about the welfare of our environment, particularly in the Meadowlands and Hackensack River watershed, we urge you to join Friends of Meadowlands Conservation Trust.
The Meadowlands Conservation Trust (MCT) has a small, dedicated and hardworking staff. We have a land acquisition program that requires continuous maintenance of open space properties for the enjoyment and benefit of the public, as well as the protection of plant and wildlife species. We also have other tasks that we can use assistance with from skilled participants. MCT is looking to establish a strong volunteer program to help in this effort.
Some examples of the help you may provide includes:
* Clean Ups/Litter Control
* Trail Blazing
* Planting and Weeding
* Bird Box Construction and Placement
* Grant Writing Assistance
* Community Outreach
We are saddened to report that Mark Becker, a longtime conservationist who worked tirelessly to protect open space in the Hackensack River watershed, died February 26, 2014 in a multi-vehicle crash on the New York Thruway.
