Next Saturday: CF Walk and Red-shoulder Nest Visit
May 28, 2016
Fyke Nature Association is presenting a free walk on Saturday, June 4, at 8 a.m., followed by a visit to the Red-shoulder nest from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
All participants will receive a newly updated full-color Celery Farm brochure/trail map.
Note: We suggest wearing long sleeves, long pants, socks and shoes to reduce the chances of ticks.
The 86-minute walk, open to nature lovers of all ages and abilities, are designed to acquaint more people with the 107-acre Celery Farm.
After the walk, we will visit the Kempeys, who are hosting the Red-shoulder nest this year -- three nestlings!
You can also participate in just the nest visit from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Meet in the Franklin Turnpike parking lot for nest visit at 9:30 a.m. (Do not park on the sidewalk -- against the law.)
The walk begins 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.)
E-mail Jim Wright here to rsvp or get more info. Check this blog, www.celeryfarm.net, for updates, last-minute weather advisories for the walk, and directions to the Celery Farm and Green Way.
We hope to see you on Saturday. Listing follows.
