This year's dates for Stepping Up for The Celery Farm 2025 are May 3 & 4.
Once again, I'm asking you to support the annual fundraiser for our amazing 107-acre wetland and nature preserve. People of all ages and all levels of birding skill are invited to walk the paths and to identify and count the many birds that visit during Spring Migration.
By taking part in our citizen-science project, you'll help raise the funds needed to purchase plants, seeds, tools, etc.
Across our planet, habitat loss is a crucial factor in species decline. Every safe, welcoming space is vital to survival. The Celery Farm continues to provide a place to rest, to nest, to raise the next generation of birds and other wildlife.
We do not receive funding from the Borough of Allendale or the State of NJ.
We rely totally on Fyke membership dues, your donations and this fundraiser. The work is done primarily by volunteers. A big THANK YOU! out to all who offer their labor and good humor.
