Coming Saturday: Free Guided Walk
September 29, 2013
Marsh Warden Mike Limatola and I are doing our first-Saturday-of-the-month on Saturday, Oct. 5 at 8 a.m.
We will be sure to look for the all-white catbird!
All participants will receive a brand-new, second-edition, full-color Celery Farm brochure, and we'll have 2014 Celery Farm calendars for sale as well!
We'll have a spotting scope or two, but bring binoculars if you have them.
Note: We suggest wearing long sleeves, long pants, socks and shoes to reduce the chances of ticks.
The 90-minute walk, open to nature lovers of all ages and abilities, are designed to acquaint more people with the 107-acre Celery Farm.The walks begin at the end of Green Way (a right turn off of northbound Franklin Turnpike, just before Crescent Avenue). (Directions are in the left-hand column.)
The walks are sponsored by the Fyke Nature Association, which helps maintain the Celery Farm, and the Concerned Citizens of Allendale, which saved the Fell House and its 2.8-acre property from becoming a townhouse development.
E-mail Jim Wright here to rsvp or get more info. Check this blog, celeryfarm.net, for updates, last-minute weather advisories for the walk, and directions to the Celery Farm, Green Way and the Fell House.
We hope to see you on Saturday. Listing follows.
The Fyke Nature Association is offering a free guided walk at the Celery Farm in Allendale on Saturday, Oct. 6, at 8 a.m. The walk is for nature-lovers of all ages and birders of all levels.
