The Rock of Allendale
July 23, 2023
With just a little fanfare this weekend, a new plaque was unveiled at the Celery Farm in memory of Stiles Thomas, who spent decades leading the fight to save these precious wetlands and whobecame the first marsh warden of the nature preserve.
The plaque is on a glacial erratic near Phairs Pond.
The Thomas Family sponsored the plaque, and local sculptor Mike Bertelli made it happen.
