Family Discovery Walk: Tombolos and Eelgrass and Herons Oh My (Sat. 27 Jul, 2013 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm)
Lions and tigers and bears are not in the Fidalgo Bay area, but tombolos and eelgrass and herons are! We will act out the story of "The Tombolo Who Wanted to Be a Neck," experiment with eelgrass, and (hopefully) see great blue herons fishing for their next meal. So join us on this family-friendly walk to discover some of the natural history that makes Fidalgo Bay so special.
