SEE MYSTERIOUS GYPSY POND WITH RIDGEWOOD WILDSCAPE ASSOCIATION

Loch_Ness_Monster

The National Trail Association has named June 6 as National Trail Days; but most towns are expanding it to National Trail WEEKEND of June 6/7!

We are lucky that a member of Wildscape who is a botanist from Rutgers, Jeannie Epiphan,  will lead a walk along “mysterious” Gypsy Pond.

When?         Saturday and Sunday, June 6 and 7,
What time?  12-2PM . JOIN US FOR THE WHOLE TIME, OR JUST A PORTION, ITS UP TO YOU!

Our President, Andy Antista, will also explain the history of the area.

Gypsy Pond is one of the hidden gems in Ridgewood.

Everyone is welcome, bring the kids, bring the grandparents, bring a neighbor.  No getting muddy this time, but do bring a bag to pick up trash if you want to.

The important thing is to GET OUTSIDE.

For those who don’t know the location, there are two ways to get to Gypsy Pond:

1.  Rock Road Extension, travel towards Goffle Road, immediately before the rr tracks there is an unmarked road (of course!)…park across the street at the NJ Transit lot, there will be signs.

2.  Godwin, left at Lake, left onto Goffle, travel to Rock Road, turn left and part at the NJTransit equipment lot on the right.  There will be signs.
