Soundwaters 4/27 visit

Hi All!

We had a wonderful visit and field experience at Cove Island Park on 4/27. We bushwhacked through forest. Visited a secluded beach and discussed the importance of dune grasses and looked for possible terrapin nesting sites. We then gave Soundwaters our SHAVING the TERRAPIN fundraiser money. We were happy to help and my mustache is still off!

We had a great lesson on plankton, experimented with snails, and did water analysis!

What a great rainy day! :-)
