Stepping Up For Lorrimer
This will be our 14th Celery Farm Big Day, also known as "Stepping Up For Lorrimer". Fyke teams will be birding the Celery Farm on May 11, 2013 from dawn to dusk. The goal is to count all the species of birds seen to raise money for the New Jersey Audubon's Lorrimer Sanctuary in Franklin Lakes. Last year we had a total of 76 species recorded, and $1,334.00 was donated to Lorrimer. Please see the pledge form, on page 9.

NPC Field Trips
The Nature Program Cooperative (NPC) is a collaboration between over a dozen local organizations like Fyke that provide quality nature programs. Throughout the year, NPC members host activities and programs to which all group members are invited. When applicable, member discounts will apply to NPC partner members and supporters. For example, if Tenafly Nature Center hosts an event, members of all other NPC groups pay TNC’s member rate. For more details, please see the NPC website at www.natureprogam.org.
