New Releases by Thomas F. Yezerski

20,000 acres of wetlands in northern New Jersey - 5 miles from Times Square in New York City - were once home to hundreds of species of plants and animals. Since European explorers first arrived in the Meadowlands, people have all but destroyed it. Still, signs of life remain―under bridges, on the edges of parking lots, and beside train tracks. Slowly but surely, with help from activist groups, government organizations, and ordinary people, the resilient creatures of the Meadowlands are making a comeback, and the wetlands are recovering.
