TNC Leadership
Through their commitment to advance Tenafly Nature Center’s mission and vision, TNC’s Board of Trustees generously donate their time to serve our community. Drawn from Tenafly and surrounding communities, trustees bring to the organization a wide range of expertise, talents, energy and financial support.
Annual elections are held each Fall to fill open seats. Interested candidates should contact us in in the late Summer, early Fall.
