Membership
Friends of the Hackensack River Greenway through Teaneck is a grassroots organization of volunteers dedicated to supporting and encouraging the development, maintenance and use of the 3½-mile Greenway along the Hackensack River through Teaneck. The Greenway will contain a pedestrian walkway and nature trails to provide a peaceful and quiet environment intended for walking, jogging, or just sitting and relaxing. Many people have already participated in one or more of the guided walks through the Pilot Greenway in Terhune Park or along the entire 3½-mile route.
The Hackensack River is on the Eastern Flyway and is a stopping point for egrets, swans, herons, cormorants, loons, and others bird. The development of the Greenway will increase the variety of fish and wildlife in the area by encouraging appropriate vegetation. Access to the river's edge will also provide an opportunity for all citizens to learn more about the ecology and history of the Hackensack River and help it to become environmentally safe and clean.
We will soon have membership cards that will entitle you to 10% discount at Ludewig's Hardware on Queen Anne Road. We'll be talking to other retailers in town to get discounts and special sales for our members.
If you would like to be an active participant in the Greenway or if you would like to lend your financial support to this exciting community-wide project, we invite you to become a Friend of the Hackensack River Greenway through Teaneck. We will add your name to our mailing list and keep you posted about all upcoming conservation (planting), recreation (guided walks), and education (presentations to members and to outside groups) events.
