NJ Meadowlands Boat Trip - Eco Cruise Highlights


On Friday June 25th, an Eco-Cruise sponsored by the City of Hoboken's Mayor Dawn Zimmer, Leo Pellegrini Director of Human services in conjunction with Scott Siegel and Diana Davis and the Republican Party held a field trip aboard the Robert H. Boyle and the Edward Abbey along the lower Hackensack River.

Eco-Cruises are fun educational tours and raise awreness of the lower Hackensack River watershed as a vital natural and recreational resource.

This event was open to children from the ages of 9-14 and departed from the Multi-Service center at 10:00 am and included some kids from the housing authority. Scott Siegel was very happy with this bi-partisan trip and the kids had fun as well.

Here are some photos of the event below.....
