BERGEN COUNTY AUDUBON SOCIETY
IS A SUPPORTING PARTNER OF THE
NATURE PROGRAM COOPERATIVE
You
might not realize it, but there are over a dozen places and organizations in
Bergen County alone that provide quality nature programs. Recently, they created the Nature Program
Cooperative – a pooling of
knowledge and resources designed to offer the people of our region greater
opportunities to explore and enjoy the County’s natural side. From hikes to
boat trips, from live animal presentations to slideshows, from hands-on
activities to paddling adventures and more, it is all available here in
Bergen County.

Throughout the year, different partners of the Co-op will host an outdoor
activity or indoor educational program at a nature center or other
appropriate location to which all members are invited. We hope to encourage
more people to visit the Meadowlands to the south, the Palisades to the
east, the reservoirs to the north and the Highlands to the west, and
everywhere in between. When applicable, member discounts will apply to all
Co-op partner members and supporters. Non-members are also welcome to
attend. All events will be advertised in each group’s newsletter or web
site.
Welcome to the Co-op
