    Coast Kids: Whales and Tales at the Sarbanes Center
    Saturday, February 13, 2010
    10 AM to 11 AM


    Not only ships have stranded on Assateague. Sometimes a whale is washed ashore. Why does this happen? Learn about the extraordinary behavior and biology of whales, and what kind of marine mammals you might be able to see from the beach. The Assateague State Park has some amazing whale bones to show you. We will meet at the Sarbanes Center. After the program you are welcome to join us on a beach walk on Assateague (weather permitting).


    Coast Kids: Reptile Wrap-Up at the Pocomoke River State Park
    Saturday, January 30, 2010
    10 AM to 11 AM


    Despite their bad reputation most snakes are completely harmless, and actually a very important part of the food web. Let’s see live and learn about snakes, turtles and other reptiles at the Pocomoke River State Park. If the weather is fine, you can join us after the program on a nature stroll. Winter is a good time for watching ducks, herons, and other birds that live near the water.
