Nature Done Wright

   Just wanted to give everyone a head’s up that photographer Jerry Barrack and I will be doing a slide show and talk at the Hermitage in Ho-Ho-Kus next Thursday night.
  We’ll be focusing mostly on the Celery Farm and Jerry’s great photos of it, including a few from "In the Presence of Nature," the coffee-table book we did with Doug Goodell.
  I’ll also talk a little about the screech owl box and its inhabitants over the past few years, with some photos to go along with it.
  There is an admission charge, but a few  local weeklies have a coupon that admits two people for free.  In the Town Journal, the coupon was for the wrong show but I would hope it would be accepted anyway.
  Here’s the info:
     Thursday 7:30 p.m. Celery Farm Slide show. Allendale’s 109-acre Celery Farm Natural Area is one of the region’s open-space gems, with a rich variety of birds, animals and vegetation.
