Enjoy a week of learning in the beautiful coastal setting of Cape Cod. The
1,100-acre Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary will be the base for our activities,
but the beaches, dunes, and wetlands of the Cape Cod National Seashore will also
serve as our classroom in which we will discover the hardy plant species that
have adapted to the ever-changing coastal environment. Field trips to the
plants’ habitats will provide excellent opportunities to learn about the role of
plants in the ecology of the region. Stroll the shoreline in search of seaweeds
washed ashore and flowering plants that thrive on sandy beaches. Hike Great
Island in Wellfleet to discover the plants of the dunes and tombolos. Cruise
Nauset Marsh, the largest salt marsh on the Outer Cape, to observe its rich
variety of wildlife and learn about human impacts on salt marsh plants.<SPAN
