Dec 19, 2016

The Buzzards Bay Coalition and Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust will host Marsh Madness, a 90-minute tour of Knowles Reserve on Thursday, December 29.

Attendees will discover the animals and plants that rely on salt marshes and look for critters on the squishy terrain. Participants can expect games, lessons on bird migration, and guide cards.

The event starts at 10 a.m. Meet at trailhead on West Smith Neck Road. Parking is available at Apponagansett Park.

The tour is part of a three-day winter exploration. The other activities include Sandy Surprises at Fort Taber Park on December 28 at 10 a.m. and Forest Finds at the Flora Peirce Nature Trail in New Bedford on December 30 at 10 a.m.
