What is an invasive species? Join us for a Kids' Day to find out & explore different crabs that live at the Preserve, invasive and native!

30048 Cedar Neck Rd

Participants in this program get closer to the Bays than ever before as they explore the shallow waters of the Indian River Bay for aquatic life and handle living organisms! This program will focus on invasive and native crabs that call the Inland Bays home. As a group, we identify and discuss different fish, crabs and other plants and animals that we can find here at the James Farm Ecological Preserve!Perfect for participants of all ages! Kids’ Days offer children the opportunity to connect with nature through hands-on learning and exploration.Participants will be in and around the water, so please wear clothes and shoes that can get wet and sandy. Closed-toe shoes are encouraged. Don’t forget to bring water, sunscreen, and insect repellent, as the Preserve can be buggy at times.We’ll walk approximately 0.5 miles to and from the beach, with the majority of the program spent wading in the water at the beach. 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.
