- **Event Name**: “Life in the Meadowlands” with Don Torino
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 15 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Come listen to author and president of the Bergen County Audubon Society Don Torino as he presents stories from his book, Life In The Meadowlands. Educational and poetic, the book documents Torino’s upbringing in the wetlands area of northern New Jersey, which lies along the Atlantic Flyway, a major migration route for millions of birds. The Meadowlands have been subject to destruction for a few centuries. But in recent years, some small sections of it have been rehabilitated.

Torino says: “Growing up in the Meadowlands was special. It is a time long gone, that can never be relived again. We will talk about what it was like and how it forever guided my life to this day, as president of Bergen County Audubon Society. We grew up with nature all around us… there were still farm stands and horse stables, and fishermen, trappers, and hunters were part of the culture. We were in a different world, almost isolated – and although I did not realize it at the time, it was a very special place to grow up.”

Life in the Meadowlands offers insightful views of how each of us impact our world and reminds us of the beauty around us. No matter where you live, this book will inspire you to take a closer look at the natural world around you and to take better care of it.

Torino is a sage and tireless environmental leader, naturalist, speaker, and advocate for wildlife and conservation, particularly within the Meadowlands area. As President of Bergen County Audubon Society, he helps educate the public on the importance of native plants and wildlife habitats. He has been recognized for his presentations that engage attendees in the natural world and their power to protect it.
