Event Details

Take a walk with docent Gregg Aronson around the wetlands of the wildlife refuge and learn about their history. On both dates, the salt marsh will be inundated by the king tides, an incredible phenomena that happens only a 2-3 times a year.  See examples of salt collection ponds and learn what is being done to convert them back to their original, natural salt marsh state. Hear how wildlife is affected by the two types of habitat, and why it is important to control the rate of conversion from salt ponds back to the salt marshes. Binoculars and/or a camera are recommended.

Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. It is the policy of the US Fish and Wildlife Service to accommodate individuals with disabilities.  If you have questions concerning programs, or if you need accommodation to enable you to participate, please contact a visitor services staff person at 408-262-5513.
