ENTRIES ARE NOT IN DATE ORDER : Join us in our peaceful protest.

For 15 years, the citizens of South Bergen County, NJ have been facing the threat of construction of one of the world's biggest malls, built on a sprawling environmentally sensitive wetland area known as the NJ Meadowlands.

In recent years, environmentalists have beeen successful in creating a few beautiuful wetland parks in the area. Bald Eagles have returned to the area, fish have re-populated the rivers and outdoors folks have found the area to be an incredible sanctuary for hiking, canoeing, rafting and boating.
