Nature Done Wright

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.
