Did You Know?
The Teaneck Creek wetlands, located at the junction of the NJ Turnpike and interstate Route 80, are part of the Bergen County Overpeck Park system, which also includes portions of Leonia, Palisades Park, and Ridgefield Park. A unique partnership to restore disturbed urban wetlands within the site has been formed among the nonprofit Teaneck Creek Conservancy, Rutgers’ Environmental Research Clinic, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Bergen County Parks Department, and TRC Omni Environmental Corporation. Rutgers’ scientific data will be used as a basis for the restoration design. Rutgers scientists will monitor before, during, and after restoration activities, which will result in the creation of additional freshwater wetlands. The goal is to study the site for an extended period of time and to collect information that will be helpful in understanding how to restore urban wetland ecosystems successfully. The Rutgers team includes atmospheric, hydrologic, and soil scientists. Volunteers working at the Teaneck Creek Conservancy include Rutgers-trained Master Gardeners.
