Friend of Herring River

THE ECOLOGY OF THE HERRING RIVER: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE

led by John Portnoy and Erika Pfammatter

Saturday, November 18, 10:00 am - 11:30 pm, 15 people max.

(Rain Date: Sunday, November 12th, 1:00-2:30 pm)

Meet at the Great Island Trail parking lot, Wellfleet

This is a short walk from the Great Island Trail parking lot to the CNR dike to compare undisturbed salt marsh below the dike with the drained wetland upstream, and to discuss the plan for imminent tidal restoration. How the river has been negatively impacted for the past 114 years since the dike was built will be discussed, as well as how the restoration should dramatically improve the natural salt-marsh functions on which so much coastal life - animal and human - depends.
