Gray skies greeted us on December 13 at the Marine Park Salt Marsh Nature Center. The Park Rangers met Mary Ann, Kori and Jen's classes for an introductory tour that included bird watching, hiking the trails, a scavenger hunt on the shore, and a walk through the Nature Center exhibits. We will be returning to explore on our own in late January and will begin regular visits in March.
