Demarest Pine Terrace

In 2008, the Meadowlands Conservation Trust acquired a conservation easement to an 18-acre parcel donated by the Borough of Demarest. The Pine Terrace property, as it is called, is located at the corner of Piermont Avenue and Pine Terrace in Demarest, NJ. In this joint venture, Demarest is responsible for maintenance while the Trust is responsible for monitoring the parcel. The site is a heavily vegetated area located in the midst of a densely residential area.

The Trust hopes to work with Demarest and its residents in the future to possibly create a passive hike/bike trail that can be linked to other Bergen County trails to make up a Greenway system. An information kiosk could also be strategically put on the property so that guests can learn more about the nature of the region.
