Where: Meet at Parking Lot 7, Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, Plum Island, Newbury, MA

The Parker River National Wildlife Refuge is offering a free, 90-minute program for children, Tidepools for Kids!, on Saturday, July 25th, from 8:00 to 9:30 a.m.

The program, which is for children ages 4 to 12, will explore the beaches and tidepools of Plum Island. They will learn about hermit crabs, periwinkles and urchins and other inhabitants of local tide pools.

This free outdoor program is a great way to introduce a child to the wonderful world of tide pools. Participants will be walking in rocky and wet areas, so parental supervision and sturdy shoes are a must.

Shorts or pants that can be rolled up are recommended.

Greenheads will be around (though not as active in the morning), so bring the bug spray.

Meet at Refuge Parking Lot 7.

Please note that the outdoor program may be cancelled if there is inclement weather.

Registration Is Required

The program is free, but you must register in advance as space is limited. To register, please call 978-465-5753 to register. Registration is not complete until you receive confirmation from a staff member.
