How do plants and animals survive in the salt marsh – a salty ecosystem that changes multiple times a day based on the tide? Organisms like fiddler crabs, periwinkle snails, and picklegrass have amazing adaptations! After meeting in the Discovery Center, participants will take a bus ride to the salt marsh to search for some of these intriguing creatures. Walking in pluff mud is included!

Recommended for ages 6 and up; children under 7 must be accompanied by an adult. Participants need to wear closed-toe shoes that can get wet and muddy (ex: rainboots) and bring another pair of shoes to change into afterwards. Participants will need to dress for the weather and bring sunscreen, bug spray, and water. Program is weather dependent. (Exertion level: High impact – walking on uneven terrain, standing in direct sunlight).

$10 per child (age 3+), $15 per adult. Reservations required: https://hobcawbarony.org/event/family-fun-salt-marsh-adaptations/
