"The
vision of those who saved the wetlands has always been of an oasis of beauty and
calm in one of the most densely populated, heavily trafficked and overdeveloped
areas of the country. But they also had something else in mind: what restoring
the wetlands would do for us. It would give us pride in knowing that the pollution
and greed-the dark side of this state-could be defeated and the right
thing could be done." - The Metamorphosis
in the Meadowlands
One
of Congressman Rothman's top priorities has been protecting and preserving the
last parcels of open space left in the Hackensack Meadowlands. He believes the
remaining wetlands in the Meadowlands-home to hundreds of species of fish,
birds, and other wildlife, should be protected and eventually turned into an environmental
park for all to enjoy. You can read more about his efforts below.
