Come join The Meadows Trail Crew for a walk in the Meadows forest.
Date: Saturday April 20, 2024
Time: 11:00 to 1:00pm
No Rain Date
The Meadows is the largest Borough owned natural area in Highland Park. Its 18 acres includes forested areas, wetlands, open streams, and important floodplain areas along the Raritan River. Eight acres of The Meadows was used as a landfill from 1940 to 1977. It is now a recovering environment and its ecological functions and value continue to improve. This amazing forest has over 40 species of trees, but also has many invasive non-native species to contend with. A dedicated Trail Crew has been maintaining and improving the ecosystem.
It will be very leisurely, but bring comfortable shoes and water. Spots can be very muddy too.
Meet at the Trail Entrance at the base of S. 5th Ave.
Park at the DPW lot at 444 Valentine St.
All ages welcome!
