Marsh Madness II! Building on the success of last year’s inaugural event, but with some new twists this year. Leaders: Several local wildlife- and wetland experts.
Night Creatures: beginning at 9:15 pm Andrew Hebda of the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History will lead us on a search for creatures of the night: amphibians, marsh birds, bats (with ultrasonic bat detectors), and moths/flying insects (using lights and sheets). Prepare to be amazed by the biodiversity of the night.
Participants will learn about finding, observing and identifying wetland species and ecologically-responsible interaction with nature. This event is child- and family-friendly. Come prepared with sunscreen, rubber boots, dip nets, binoculars, flashlights (for the night)…and food bank items. Access to Miner’s Marsh is at the back of the Kentville Court House parking lot (87 Cornwallis Street, Kentville).
