press release October 20, 2015
TRENTON – Northern New Jersey\’s Ramapo Mountain State Forest reopened today following a two-week closure for monitoring of unusual black bear activity in the area.
The decision to reopen the 4,200-acre state forest bordering Passaic and Bergen counties was made as a result of an assessment of Division of Fish and Wildlife biologists who have been monitoring traps set near trails where multiple encounters between one or more potentially aggressive bears occurred in recent weeks.
