WHY: For 23 years, Kumon North America’s headquarters have been located adjacent to Teaneck Creek Park. During that time, many employees have used the park as a sanctuary on lunch breaks. As a company dedicated to children, Kumon puts great emphasis on commitment to its community. Teaneck Creek Conservancy’s same commitment to the community has made way for a likely bond.
Both organizations take a conscientious approach to improve the quality of life through the preservation of the natural environment and resources.

About Teaneck Creek Conservancy:
The Teaneck Creek Conservancy, a Bergen County Park, is a member-supported, non-profit organization dedicated to the reclamation and protection of the Teaneck Creek watershed. Since 2001, the TCC has been working hard to transform once-neglected parkland into a place of natural beauty. In a unique collaboration between public and non-profit partners, and hundreds of hours of sweat equity, these 46 acres have been transformed into a small urban paradise complete with almost two miles of groomed trails, an Outdoor Classroom for learning, and even a Peace Labyrinth for quiet reflection.
