The County of Bergen is beginning work on a Ramapo Mountains Park Management Plan. The Management Plan is a guide that lays out the vision for where the park wants to be and provides direction for getting there over the next 15-20 years. Your ideas and concerns will help create that vision for what kind of place the Bergen County Ramapo Mountains will be in the future.
As you may be aware, the current policy within Bergen County Parks is to prohibit mountain biking on county-owned lands. Its one of 3 counties that have an outdated policy on this issue so important to many of us.
