Explore Teaneck Creek by learning about the birds that reside here and those passing through. Whether you are a total beginner or curious about the songs you hear, our birding enthusiast, Dena Ressler and her Tween friends, will guide you around the park providing a hands-on introduction to the art and science of birding.

If you have a pair of binoculars, please bring them along. If not, TCC will have a few on hand to borrow. Learn how to quickly find birds in the trees (it’s harder than it looks!) and identify birds by their songs.

Due to unforeseen circumstances the Focus on Fireflies program has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Please check our website for rescheduled dates and other park programs.

Ready to chase some summer magic?

Join NJIT’s Dr. Caroline DeVan at Teaneck Creek for an evening of glowing exploration! We are diving into the fascinating, flashing world of fireflies — learning who they are, how to spot them, and what we can do to protect their summer light shows.

But we won’t just be watching — we're taking action! Together, we will count the fireflies right here at Teaneck Creek and upload our discoveries to the Firefly Atlas Community Watch. Your night out will directly help scientists map and protect these incredible insects!

What to Bring:

• A glass jar (with plenty of breathing holes punched in the lid!) 

• A headlamp with a red-light setting (No red setting? No sweat! Bring a regular flashlight and we'll help you modify it on-site) 

Free. Ages 10 and up. Light rain or shine. Registrants will be notified by email if the program is canceled. Some trail sections are challenging for strollers. No restrooms available.
