People of all ages and skill levels are welcome!
Bring your smartphone, ipad and/or a camera, your curiosity and tons of enthusiasm. Bonus: Binoculars and magnifying glasses. Together we’ll make some great discoveries, get to know these places and each other better!
We will increase knowledge of the species within our park and increase our knowledge of birds, plants aquatic life and animal species found in our park on land, in McSorely Creek, the intertidal zone and in our underwater park!
