LYNDHURST – Don’t forget the free Butterfly Walk at DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst on Sunday at 1 p.m. – co-sponsored by the N.J. Meadowlands Commission and the Bergen County Audubon Society.
Get started learning how to identify the Butterflies of the Meadowlands and the plants that attract them. Optics for butterflies and how to start your own backyard butterfly garden will be discussed briefly, followed by a walk. Let’s hope the butterflies cooperate! (P.S. We shot the photo above at lunchtime on Monday July 10 at DeKorte Park.)
To help us with a head count, please rsvp to jim.wright@njmeadowlands.gov or the BCAS’ Don Torino, greatauk4@aol.com, if you have not done so already…
