Participants will learn some tips and tricks for identifying different shells and shelled creatures we may find at the Preserve. We will talk briefly about the types of animals that live in shells and how they are important to the ecosystem.The bulk of this program will take place walking along the beach. We recommend closed-toe shoes that can get wet and sandy. Please bring water, sunscreen, and insect repellent, as the Preserve can be buggy at times.Important Notes:Participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.This program is weather permitting.Attendance is free, but registration is encouraged. We reserve the right to turn away walk-ups if necessary.For the privacy and comfort of our participants, staff, and volunteers, video or audio recording is not permitted during our programs. Guests are welcome to take photographs, but we ask that you do so in a way that respects the privacy of others.
