| Rachel Carson Reserve Summer Public Field Trips |
|---|
| 07/01/2009 to 07/31/2009 | Call 252-838-0883 |
| Public field trips on the Rachel Carson National Estuarine Research Reserve occur Memorial Day through Labor Day, usually on Tuesday and Thursday every week. All programs are open and free to the public but reservations are required as boat space is limited. Call to make reservations or for more information. The reserve offers two types of field trips, a nature hike and a boardwalk trip, which are determined by the tides. Nature hikes occur during low tides when the most land is exposed on the island. Boardwalk trips occur at high tide, when the water is high enough in the estuary for our 24 -foot skif to easily navigate around the island to our boardwalk on Carrot Island. On the nature hike, be prepared to get your shoes wet and muddy. We require close-toed shoes because of the abundance of oysters on the island. You may also have the opportunity to swim on the nature hike, so dress accordingly. On both the nature hike and boardwalk trip, we encourage you to bring sunglasses, hats, binoculars, water and sunscreen. The field trips are free. We do accept donations for our nonprofit organization, Carolina Estuarine Reserve. |
