Stepping Up for the Celery Farm 2025


Fyke Bittern Logo

Hello everyone!

Weather's warming up, so it's time to announce that the dates for Stepping Up for The Celery Farm 2025 are May 3rd & 4th.

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, 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 your 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.

Stepping Up For The Celery Farm 2025 - the financial how-to!

This year you can make your pledges online. Just open the Fyke website Events page https://www.fykenature.org/trips.php#stepup and fill in the amount and your email to record your pledge -- or you can use the paper form that is also provided.

This only works with your participation and financial support.

Thank you!

The Fyke Nature Association was founded in 1952 with the goal of saving undeveloped tracts of land in Bergen County, New Jersey, and establishing them as Nature Preserves. In one of the most densely populated areas in New Jersey, the Fyke Nature Association’s mandate of preservation and stewardship is of the utmost urgency and importance.

We offer educational programs and workshops of interest to people of all ages throughout the year. We also lead field trips to various locations in New Jersey and southeastern New York for birding, botanizing, and general nature study. We are an active and dynamic organization dedicated to conservation and environmental protection.
