Ridgefield Park EC readies Earth Day events after dock damage; live shows and vendors confirmed
Summary
The Ridgefield Park Environmental Commission set planning details for an Earth Day/Nature Preserve celebration on May 30, 2026, discussed a dock damaged in a storm and vendor and program logistics, and scheduled clean-ups with local student groups.
The Ridgefield Park Environmental Commission on March 3 confirmed plans for an Earth Day Celebration at the Nature Preserve on May 30, 2026, and reviewed logistics after a storm-damaged dock delayed preparations. Members noted the dock "broke off during the storm" and will be retrieved and repaired before the event, and the town is processing an insurance claim while waiting for river conditions to allow retrieval.
Organizers adjusted the live-show schedule for the day to accommodate presenting groups: 10:45 a.m. Snakes N Scales, 12:00 p.m. Mad Science, 1:15 p.m. Wild Life and 2:00 p.m. Tenafly Nature. The commission also expects a DEP trailer and several vendors to attend. Clean-up days to prepare the preserve were set, including a spring clean-up on April 11 with the Key Club, National Honor Society and the high school Environmental Club. The commission encouraged members to submit photos to the Nature Preserve Chronolog and plans to install cameras to help manage the site.
