Join the North Coast Land Conservancy for a local celebration of National Estuaries Day on Sept. 26 starting at 10:00 am at Neawanna Point in Seaside. Established in 1988 as part of Coast Weeks, National Estuaries Day is an occasion to raise awareness from coast-to-coast about the importance of our nation's estuaries, and the need to protect these amazing places.
What's so special about estuaries? They're the places where rivers and streams meet the ocean- places of great diversity, complexity and beauty. Here, freshwater mingles with saltwater, and change is the only constant. Tides fill and flush the estuary. Fish and other organisms rest and reproduce here. Innumerable plants and animals, including us, depend upon the health of estuaries for their very survival.
This year's programs include presentations by the City of Seaside's Neal Wallace and Author Bonnie Henderson, and field programs on Beavers, Natural History, Geology, Restoration, and critters for the Kids. We'll wrap it up with a barbecue in the park. For details and directions, visit the event web page.
This program is part of the North Coast Land Conservancy's summer program series. For details, see our web site.
