Winter 2012-2013 “Celebrating our Past, Preserving our Future” Bruce Baker and Charles Klatskin speaking at the Lost Brook Preserve 30th Anniversary celebration, April 30, 2006. TNC Will Honor Local Heroes Klatskin and Baker By Michael Neus, President The successful purchase of 274 acres of woodlands atop the Palisades put the Borough of Tenafly in the forefront of the emerging environmental movement in the 1970s. Grassroots fundraising at the local and national level, grants from state and federal agencies, and broad-based municipal and community support protected the Lost Brook Preserve from high density development. Since the 1950s, schemes for housing, a golf course, an office complex and even an antiballistic missile base had been proposed. Mayor Manos praised the “heroic effort on the part of thousands of interested and concerned citizens in this area of our state and elsewhere,” in his speech announcing the settlement, delivered on Earth Day, April 22, 1976. Charles Klatskin and Bruce Baker were then, and are now, two of Tenafly’s great heroes. They worked together and found dramatic and creative ways to secure funding that made preservation of the land possible. TNC’s Trustees have unanimously selected Bruce Baker and Charles Klatskin to receive TNC’s highest honor: “The Founders Award for Conservation,” which will be presented at our Annual Dinner on Sunday, March 3 at the Clinton Inn, in Tenafly. 1970s Race to Raise $10 Million In the 1970s, Bruce Baker was a Tenafly Borough Council Member and the liaison to Tenafly Nature Center’s board. Charles Klatskin was a leader of the Jewish Community Center of Englewood. In 1972, TNC’s trustees asked Mr. Baker to seek Green Acres funding to help meet the $10 million purchase price for the land, which became known as the Lost Brook Preserve. He initiated the application process and shepherded the required resolutions through the town council. His efforts culminated in the 1973 award of $3.2 million, the single largest Green Acres grant awarded at the time. In an exciting and dramatic development, with just a week remaining before the sale deadline in 1976, Mr. Klatskin, representing the JCC, was able to secure the final $1 million necessary to bridge the remaining financial gap—in exchange for a 29-acre parcel where the JCC would build its new community center. In his celebratory speech, Tenafly’s Mayor Manos singled out Mr. Klatskin and noted that the JCC’s offer not only “contributed substantially to the fund-raising effort but would add to the quality of life in Tenafly by providing active recreational facilities and cultural programs while preserving 90 percent of the total property for passive conservation.” . . .Continued on page 3 Sponsorship Opportunities Exclusive Title Sponsorship $7500 ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ One-time naming opportunity of nature trail from January - December Seating for 10 Logo on invitation Logo on event step & repeat Front cover ad journal recognition Gold page ad Recognition on event webpage & TNC Partners webpage, in spring newsletter & two mailings to our e-mail contact list Platinum Sponsorship $5000 ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Seating for 10 Logo on event step & repeat Front cover ad journal recognition Gold page ad Recognition on event webpage & TNC Partners webpage, in spring newsletter & two mailings to our e-mail contact list Tenafly Nature Center’s 2013 Annual Dinner Honorary Chair/Emcee Jen Maxfield Founder’s Award Recipients Bruce Baker and Charles Klatskin Volunteer of the Year Award Recipient Paul Keyes Sunday, March 3, 2013 The Clinton Inn, Tenafly Wine * Auction * Music * Dinner Gold Sponsorship $1000 ♦ ♦ ♦ Seating for 2 Recognition on event webpage and in spring newsletter & two mailings to our e-mail contact list Recognition in the ad journal Silver Sponsorship $500 ♦ ♦ ♦ Seating for 2 Recognition on event webpage and in spring newsletter Recognition in the ad journal Commemorative Ad Journal ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Outside Back Cover $750 Inside Front Cover $500 Inside Back Cover $400 Full Gold Page $300 Full White Page $250 Half White Page $150 Business Card Size $100 OUR HONOREES Charles Klatskin and Bruce Baker played a key role in the struggle to protect and preserve the 274 wooded acres of the Lost Brook Preserve acquired by the Borough of Tenafly in 1976.

On November 20, 2012, Tenafly’s Council voted unanimously to extend TNC’s lease for the Lost Brook Preserve from five to 24 years. This extension will make fundraising for our proposed new building feasible. We thank the Mayor and Council for their public endorsement of our new building concept and for their confidence in TNC’s board and leadership. We commend the borough’s unwavering support for TNC’s mission of environmental education and stewardship, which has made our community an exemplar of environmental responsibility for more than 50 years. This vote follows expressions of unanimous support from municipal and civic organizations including TNC’s Board of Trustees, Tenafly’s Environmental Commission, Historic Preservation Commission, Planning Board, and Borough historians Alice Rigney and Paul Stephanowicz. I wish to go on record as a strong supporter of TNC’s plans and heartily commend the Council for its decision. . . the forward thinking of the Nature Center Board is to be heralded as they expect increasing demand for education in future decades. Now is the time to buttress their foresight. Byron A. “Gus” Allen, Jr., Letter to the Editor, The Suburbanite 11-23-12 NEXT STEPS Nationally recognized as a leader in sustainable design, Croxton Collaborative’s architects are currently developing our new building’s schematic design and site plan. Once the design is adapted to the specific site, TNC will make plans and views of the building available to the public well in advance of a public hearing to be scheduled by the council, required for final approval. THANK YOU We are energized by the overwhelming support of our local government and of so many neighbors and friends. We want to express our sincere thanks to all those who attended the public hearing and, in particular, to those who stepped up to speak. We also greatly appreciate your ongoing phone calls and e-mails voicing support. We are all in this together –and together we can continue to plan for our future. We will keep you informed as we move ahead. As always, we invite you to talk with us so we can answer all of your questions. We truly appreciate all of your support. TNC Honors Local Heroes Klatskin and Baker Continued from page 1 . . . conservation movement was only in its infancy. The following year, publication of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring called attention to the effects of pollution and led to the establishment of the National Environmental Protection Agency and to NJ’s Department of Environmental Protection. Both agencies were inaugurated on the first Earth Day in 1970.

Participants in the drama were conscious that preserving the largest single tract of privately owned land in the NY metropolitan area would create a legacy for future generations.

What birds would be out in the cold woods anyway? You may be surprised to learn that winter birding is a very exciting activity! Many birds are still active in the forest (if you bundle up and venture out on the trails) as well as at feeders close to homes (so you can watch from the comfort of your living room with a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate). Winter is a great time to try a new birding guide or even an app like iBird or Sibley. And if you want to get out of the house but don't want to stay on the frosty trails for too long you're always welcome to stop by the TNC visitor center to talk birding with our knowledgeable staff. We have a plethora of bird books in our library for members to borrow - they make great reading by the fire. Sketching is another great birding-related activity to do in the winter months. Each member of the family can draw the most interesting bird he or she saw that day. It's a great way to improve your bird identification skills, and one of you might turn out to be the next Audubon! Birding really is fun for the whole family, and it's a great connector. I still have fond memories of birding with my Grandma. So set out a feeder (if you don't have one already) before the snow falls and gather your family, friends, and binoculars. Print out the list of birds you can expect to see from our website www.tenaflynaturecenter.org/Ecology-of-TenaflyNature-Center and use your trusty guide (or app) to start checking them off and sketching them. You may be surprised at how many you find— Happy Birding! Timothy Palla, TNC Environmental Educator & Communications Assistant Tenafly Nature Center & Tenafly Public Schools Complete PALS Grant PSEG-ANJEE Learners in Sustainability Over the past two years, Debora Davidson, Director of Education and the TNC environmental education staff collaborated with representatives from Tenafly Public Schools to revise the science curriculum for three grade levels. TNC provided training, both in district and at the Nature Center, for these teachers to deepen their science content knowledge, understanding, and inquiry skills. We look forward to sustaining the strong partnership with our local school district and continuing to serve as an important resource for students and teachers. Tenafly Nature Center News 8 Winter 2012-2013 SUPERSTORM SANDY CALLS VOLUNTEERS TO ACTION SPECIAL THANKS TO NY-NJ TRAIL CONFERENCE CREWS NY-NJ Trail Conference chainsaw crew volunteers: (L to R) Jack Driller and Mark Liss worked with TNC’s trail maintenance volunteers Karl Soehnlein and Peter Tilgner (not pictured) after Sandy. R esponding to calls for help sent via Facebook and TNC’s website, volunteers converged on Tenafly Nature Center to assess damage and to begin clearing up after Hurricane Sandy. The superstorm toppled more than 200 trees throughout TNC’s 380-acre forest, blocking most trails. Besides downed trees, dangling limbs and unstable trees created hazardous conditions throughout the preserve. Special Thanks to NY-NJ Trail Conference New York-New Jersey Trail Conference chainsaw crews were among the first responders of the many volunteers who showed up ready to help. They brought their own equipment and supervised groups of TNC volunteers to survey damage and to clear and relocate trails. These volunteers will donate countless more hours working over many weeks before all TNC’s trails are clear and safe. TNC is extremely grateful for the decades-long relationship our organization has with the NY-NJ Trail Conference, especially for the leadership and years of service of Peter Tilgner and Suzan Gordon. We plan to recognize NY-NJ Trail Conference representatives at our Annual Dinner on March 3. We depend on the Trail Conference’s dedicated volunteers who work with us year-round to keep our seven miles of trails surveyed, re-blazed and cleared—helping to ensure that our seven miles of trails are cared for and available to all who enjoy them. More than 20 volunteers who responded to TNC’s S.O.S. immediately after the storm worked more than 130 hours to clear trails and storm debris from around the Visitors Center, Pavilion and parking lot, and to Tenafly Nature Center News TNC volunteers who helped with trail clearing after Superstorm Sandy. (Back, L to R) Peter Dwoskin, Kai Kuehner, Denise Kuehner; (Front: L to R) repair the aviary roof that was punctured by a branch. Staff prepared for the storm’s anticipated power outage by fostering all of our indoor exhibit animals in their own homes. We Depend on Volunteers! Like many areas affected by Sandy’s devastation, complete recovery for TNC will take time. And like many communities struggling to recover from the storm’s effects, volunteers are key to the recovery efforts at TNC. Unlike many communities, however, TNC already has an established network of volunteers ready to pitch in. As a member-supported, non-profit dedicated to protecting open space and promoting environmental education, TNC depends on volunteers. “Volunteers are our life-blood,” explains TNC’s Executive Director, Jennifer Kleinbaum. TNC’s volunteers come in many shapes and sizes: from partner organizations like the NY-NJ Trail Conference, who regularly joins forces with TNC to keep trails open, to teen counselors-in-training who assist with the Nature Center Day Camp in the summer. Additional volunteers include families, school and scout groups, high school students and adults, who donate their skills and time, caring for TNC’s live animal exhibits, gardening, for facilities repair and upkeep, assisting with educational programs and public events, maintaining trails, and organizing fund raising events. Please know that our gratitude is enormous! 9 Winter 2012-2013 Tenafly Nature Center Welcome New Members (8/6/12-12/1/12) Membership (Senior, Individual, Family) Meg Bitton, Genevieve Breeze, Teresa Brevetti Bazzini, Anna Do, Thierry Brun, Traci Burgess, Tatyana Cherkasskaya and Lev Bronstein, George and Kellyanne Conway, David Diaz, Elizabeth Davis, Yehuda and Aliza Friedman, Stacy Goldstein, Michele Grant, Soobin Han, Randy and Anna Haverilla, Mia Hur, Brian and Andrea Kahn, Nayeon Kang, Mark and Lisa Kaufman, Caroline Ku, Steve Madden and Kelly Hunt, Chloe Kim, Vivian Kim, Vanesa & Eric Marks, Beatriz Pelaez-Martinez, Peter and Norine Marzec, Yeraz Meschian, Ivan and Eike Paneque, Thomas and Colette Perrone, Stephanie Petriello, Arthur Ralston and Carrie Black, Alysia Rodriguez, Allison and Paul Rosenberg, Joanna Sawicki, Isidro and Cynthia Seguinot, Young Song, Jeffrey Thompson, Yael Vidal, Michael Warbrick and Frances Considine, Pascale Warman, Fred and Deena Weinberg, Jennifer Zuch 313 Hudson Avenue, Tenafly, NJ 07670 Phone: 201-568-6093 |Fax: 201-569-2266 www.tenaflynaturecenter.org [email protected] Tenafly Nature Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit, member-supported organization.
