Enhancing Accessibility & Outdoor Learning

The newly installed 8’ x 35’ bridge was constructed off-site and placed in one seamless installation over the brook. This addition enhances accessibility for visitors of all abilities and marks a significant milestone in the preserve’s ongoing improvements.

Thanks to funding from Veolia North America, along with support from the City of Englewood, the Bergen County Open Space Trust Fund, and New Jersey’s Green Acres Program, this transformation is on track for a Summer 2025 reopening.
