The Reserve has been using aerial photographs and computer software programs to map habitats and how they have changed over the past decade. The results show some interesting trends. We will talk about the habitats, what might be happening out there, and how that affects the dunes, beaches, and marshes we love.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Doors open at 6:45 pm with a chance to view the exhibits in the visitor center and sample some homemade sweets and coffee and tea.
