Life Underground at Shad Landing

Date: Sunday, October 8, 2023

Time: 1:30pm to 3:30pm

 

Meeting point: Pocomoke River State Park – Shad Landing - playground

Address: 3461 Worcester Hwy, Snow Hill, MD

 

Life just below our feet is abundant and diverse! It is also largely overlooked and underappreciated. According to the Soil Science Society of America, more organisms live in the soil than aboveground. Please join Coast Kids to learn about the fascinating abilities of soil critters such as worms, underground insects, or burrowing mammals, as well as the mysterious world of fungi. We will also take a walk on the beautiful Trail of Change at Shad Landing which is about a mile long. Please bring bug spray, and wear shoes appropriate for the walk.

Plants Under the Microscope

Date: Sunday, December 10, 2023

Time: 2 PM to 3:30 PM

 

Meeting point: Assateague Coastal Trust office

Address: 10959 Worcester Hwy in Berlin, MD

 

How are trees able to transport water from the roots to the leaves? Do plants breathe? How do they store energy? There is a lot to discover when you look at plants very closely and use a microscope to see the small structures that are normally hidden from our view. Please join us to learn about the vascular system of plants and various types of plant cells. We have very kid-friendly microscopes with digital displays.
