Teaneck Creek Conservancy
The Teaneck Creek Conservancy is a member-supported, non-profit organization dedicated to the rehabilitation and protection of the Teaneck Creek watershed's environmental, cultural, and historical legacy. Browse around this site.
Perry Rosenstein, their founder, assembled a diverse coalition of environmentalists, artists, and educators in 2001 to save a small tract of land in Teaneck's southernmost reaches. For nearly half a century, the land has been used as a staging area for the building of the crossroads of Routes 80 and 95. Refrigerators and worn-out tires were half-buried beneath mounds of shattered concrete and asphalt.
The founding team developed a restoration plan in collaboration with community leaders and the Bergen County Parks Department, motivated by their desire to see something different for this small tract of land. Teaneck Creek Park opened in 2006, following hundreds of hours of community discussions and thousands of hours of sweat labor, with over 1.3 miles of groomed trails, an Outdoor Classroom, and ecological art exhibits that make this haven unlike any other.
Are you spending enough time outside in nature? The TCC cordially invites you to visit their 46-acre park. Over 1.3 miles of groomed trails are available for year-round walking, jogging, and nature observation on their grounds. Stone dust (with barrier-free access from Fycke Lane), wood chip, or forested footpath are the three trail surfaces to choose from. Each one allows you to relax and unwind and rejuvenate your spirit.
When you join the TCC, you become a part of the Park's vision, which is shared by the Park's staff and volunteers. It's a place where children, the world's future leaders, can listen to and see a variety of birds, where senior citizens can discover the joys of nature in a safe and peaceful setting, where backyard gardeners can learn about native and invasive plant life, and it's a place where people of all ages and backgrounds can form lasting connections to the natural world that sustains them all. Gaining a better understanding of the natural systems on which they all rely will benefit all Bergen County residents. Your tax-deductible contribution will assist them in continuing their good work.
During their exploration of distinct outdoor habitats in small socially dispersed groups, students will broaden their environmental knowledge and enjoyment while also learning about themselves. Coronavirus precautions are in force, and children are required to wear masks at all times while in the classroom. Group numbers are severely restricted, so make your reservation as soon as possible.
