Category: Candidate Restoration/Preservation Site 
Location: The site is bordered by Moonachie Avenue to the south and New Jersey Transit Pascack Valley Line in Moonachie, Teterboro, and Little Ferry, Bergen County
Latitude/Longitude: 40.84622/-74.05548
Current Land Use: Freshwater wetland
Size: 258 acres
Current Ownership: Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
Site Description: The Teterboro Woods site consists of two separate areas southeast and southwest of the Teterboro Airport. The dominant wetland type is palustrine, successional broad-leaved deciduous forested/scrub-shrub with pockets of emergent wetlands. Upland inclusions and some disturbed areas are scattered among the wetland areas. Disturbance is mostly due to excavation and subsequent filling, as well as ditch dredging and spoil disposal. The Teterboro Woods site is slated for preservation.

1. *The Louis Berger Group, Inc. Teterboro Airport: Final Wetland Delineation Report. December 1999. [6] A wetland delineation was performed to determine the extent of federal and/or state jurisdictional boundaries, as well as identify and characterize types, of all wetlands and open water bodies within the project area. Several different wetland classes were identified and a total of 68 wetland areas were delineated. The delineated wetland boundaries were overlaid on a 1-foot contour topographic map provided by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (the property owner).
