Nature Done Wright

The next free guided walk at Allendale’s legendary Celery Farm Natural Area and the historic Fell House nearby is this Saturday (Sept. 4) at 8 a.m., weather permitting. Check here for last-minute changes in plans.

The 90-minute walks, open to nature lovers of all ages and abilities, are designed to acquaint more people with the 107-acre Celery Farm and the 250-year-old Fell House.

Along the way, walk leaders  Celery Farm Marsh Warden Mike Limatola and Deputy Warden Jim Wright will point out birds, plants and butterflies of note.

The walks begin at the end of Green Way (a right turn off of northbound Franklin Turnpike, just before Crescent Avenue).

The walks are sponsored by the Fyke Nature Association, which helps maintain the Celery Farm, and the Concerned Citizens of Allendale, which saved the Fell House and its 2.8-acre property from becoming a townhouse development.
