NPC Calendar
Did you know…?
There are over a dozen
places and organizations in northeastern New Jersey that provide quality
nature programs. Recently, several of them banded together to create the NPC – a pooling of
knowledge and resources designed to offer greater
opportunities to explore and enjoy the region’s natural side.
How it works…
Throughout the year,
each of the different
partners of the Co-op (listed on the right side of this page) will host an outdoor activity or indoor educational
program at a nature center or other appropriate location to which all group
members are invited. When applicable, member discounts will apply to all
Co-op partner members and supporters. For example, if Tenafly Nature
Center hosts an event, members of all other NPC groups pay the TNC member rate.
(Non-members are also welcome to attend the event, but must pay the
non-member rate.) All NPC events are advertised in
each partner group’s newsletter.

"Trails
Open House"
Hosted/Presented by
Closter Nature Center
This event will offer members and new visitors
an opportunity to take a guided tour throughout our 136 acres on 2-3
miles of woodland trails. Come check out the 600+ feet of new
boardwalking just installed to make our trails safer and more
accessible. Trail walks will leave from the Nature Center Cabin by
the pond at half-hour intervals, starting at 2:00 PM. Each walk will
last about an hour. The terrain is flat and shaded, but naturally
uneven and occasional wet spots still occur. Come explore this
forested gem in the heart of Bergen County's Hackensack River
Watershed. The event is free to all.
No registration is required. For more information, please contact
Mary Mayer.
