As a partner in the below listed "Nature Program Cooperative", you are invited to---

 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
