Pescadero Marsh & Beach Exploration is a wonderful opportunity to get students to experience nature through hands-on learning. Our instructors will guide your students through activities based on sandy beach and marsh & mudflat ecology. Students will compare sand found locally with sand from beaches around the world, explore the beach wrack-line, bird watch with the aid of binoculars while traversing the marsh and mudflat, and learn about the indigenous & invasive flora of California's coastline. Students will gain an understanding of how beaches, marshes, and mudflats are formed and how humans impact these delicate ecosystems.
