9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Join
us for a very special Wetland Wander. Morning and early afternoon activities
include: (indoors), Geopmorphologist Karin Baitis will present her research
into the soils of the wetlands and discuss its implications, using a PowerPoint
presentation. Hands-on activities will let audience members touch clay samples
and other soils; we'll see ash from Mt. St. Helens, and see tools used in soils
studies. WREN will provide light refreshments.
Karin
will then lead us on a field trip through our local wetlands. She will core the
gray clay and show wetland features such as soil layers, hummocks and vernal
pools, and explain changes in the landscape and how they relate to conservation
and water quality. BRING A LUNCH AND ALL WEATHER WEAR.
