We are still in discussion with our contacts there, but we would be involved with helping care for a rain garden (rain gardens ensure that polluted road run-off during rainstorms won't end up in the ocean) OR helping to count horseshoe crabs. Preparation needs will depend on the specific project, but it will involve physical activity and will be open to all ages. Regardless of site, parking will be available. false
