Summer is here and it’s time to explore the shore! We will be exploring at an extremely low negative tide, and frequently find hermit crabs, sea sponges, sand dollars, and even water-shooting clams! Indigenous cultures of the Pacific Northwest have a saying “When the tide is out, the table is set”. We will discuss how Indigenous peoples have practiced sustainable harvest of the seafood they have relied on for millenia, while also getting curious about all of the creatures we might find as we search the tidepools. 

Note: We will be exploring on a sandy, rocky beach with lots of razor sharp barnacles and cold water that can occasionally be ankle height.  Please wear study rainboots or closed back sandals to protect your feet. If you would like to borrow adult or child sized rainboots, please email communityprograms@wildwhatcom.org to let us know, or leave a note in your registration.
