Teaneck Creek Wetlands Park Restoration by Bergen County Dept. of Parks and Recreation/ Biohabitats

Project Description

Originally slated to be a landfill, decades of dumping, stormwater runoff, and introduction of invasive species degraded the site. The community led an initiative to restore the ecological health and user experience of the site by removing invasive species and debris piles and managing stormwater through innovative natural infrastructure, including sand seepage wetlands and the first regenerative stormwater conveyance system in New Jersey.
