Animals of the Hackensack Meadowlands

The land is mostly at sea level, with isolated knolls that include the ca. 53 meter (ca. 175 foot) high Laurel Hill and a few 30 meter (100 foot) high landfills (Day et al. 1999). Extensive common reed marshes, more than anything else, characterize the Meadowlands environment which lies isolated and surrounded by rocky ridges and urban centers. ................
