Marsh Madness, King Tides and South River Exploration Walk

Marsh Madness, Wicked High Tide and South River Exploration Walk
Rexhame Beach
Saturday, March 29
10:00-11:30am

Join the NSRWA in a guided walk around the salt marshes and shores of the South River during a spring high tide or as we like to say in Boston a “wicked high tide.”

Salt marshes are critically important wetlands found along our estuaries and coastal communities and ecosystems. Salt marshes, along with dunes and barrier beaches, work together and form our best defense against coastal storms and flooding, as well as provide a key habitat for local wildlife.  The spring tide, king tide or wicked high tide on that weekend will give us a preview into how sea level rise will impact these systems in the coming years.

Learn about these important, unique, and often overlooked places along our rivers and coasts. Discover their history, how have they changed over time, and hear how they helped shape our communities. We will discuss ways we can help salt marshes and surrounding habitats continue to function as a critical part of our coastal ecosystems and how sea level rise is and will continue to impact them and us.

This event is free, however, registration is required. Families welcome, no dogs please.
