This program will last approximately 90 minutes and participants will walk ~2.5 miles on sand.
The program is designed to last under 2 hours so participants can use the free parking available throughout the village of Watch Hill.
This is the first of the Napatree Scientific Stroll programs to be offered in 2024. The Napatree Scientific Stroll programs will highlight over a decade of monitoring and stewardship work in The Napatree Point Conservation Area.
