Discussion on Ramapo Reservation's Future Thursday in Mahwah

The county has identified three possible options for the future management of the 'wilderness' sections of the park, and it will be soliciting public comment on them Thursday night.

The Bergen County Department of Parks and Department of Planning and Economic Development are hosting an Open House in Mahwah Thursday that officials say will help determine the future of the “wilderness” section of the Ramapo Mountains County Park.

The county is currently considering three options for how to manage the open space moving forward. Thursday night, it is hoping to solicit feedback from the community and from park enthusiasts on the proposed management plans.

According to a park management newsletter outlining the options, the chosen plan will dictate the future management of the Stag Brook, McMillan Brook, Bear Swamp Brook, and Fox Brook areas of the Ramapo Reservation.

The Open House is happening at the Mahwah Senior Center Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m.
