Ramapo Mountains County Park Management Plan
Welcome to the County of Bergen’s Ramapo Mountains County Park Management Plan website. This website will provide information on the project schedule, upcoming meetings, planning process updates and plan documents.
What is the Ramapo Mountains County Park Management Plan?
A park management plan is an active and ongoing process for making choices about how to effectively plan and manage the Bergen County section of the Ramapo Mountains for the next 15 to 20 years.
What is the Bergen County Ramapo Mountains County Park?
The Bergen County Ramapo Mountains County Park encompasses the following park areas: Ramapo Valley County Reservation; Camp Glen Gray; Camp Tamarack; and Camp Todd.
Why is the County of Bergen doing a park management plan now?
After years of acquiring forested lands, the County is now focusing on how best to protect and provide appropriate visitor experiences in the Bergen County section of the Ramapo Mountains.
What is the Ramapo Mountains County Park Management Planning process?
The planning process is a one and a half year long effort that involves collecting existing park and population data, touring and evaluating the conditions of the nature park areas and facilities, and connecting with the public to gather community interests and needs. Input from park users will help the park planners develop the plan.
