Description

Join one of our naturalists for an exploration of tidal creek organisms at Palmetto Islands County Park. We'll explore the marsh edges, the organisms that live underwater on the dock itself, and even microscopic plankton that drift their way down the creek. A net especially designed to trap tiny planktonic organisms will be used and microscopes will be set up at a nearby location to allow us to view this seldom seen world.

What to expect: Accessible parking, accessible restrooms, and accessible water fountains are available at this park. A portion of this program will take place in the salt marsh on a dock. Periods of walking and observing nature are part of this program. The program's walking pace will be slow to moderate, and the trails are paved or hard packed surfaces. Tables for sitting will be available where half of program takes place.
