Jerry Barrack’s Celery Farm Pix
My buddy Jerry Barrack was the first photographer to make The Celery Farm Nature Preserve his home base -- back…
When it comes to fighting garlic mustard at the Celery Farm, let's just say it's in the bag — or will be if we keep at it …
Nearly a dozen volunteers pitched in on Sunday, including the Pittstons of Waldwick and Ron Filomeno (pictured above). We bagged 15 more trash bags of this nasty stuff.
Also on the job were Deb Fisk of Franklin Lakes and the Leurcks of Ramsey, Carol Flanagan of Hawthorne and Patty Finn of Allendale.
Combined with earlier efforts, we filled roughly 40 bags' worth of Garlic Mustard, and we have yet begun to fight.
Next year, the mustard won't know what hit it!
Thanks to everyone who pitched in this month. You guys are great!
