Just as Burgess’s interests were as broad and diverse as the wildlife he chronicled in his stories, so does this program explore a wide range of natural history topics. Join us on Saturday, <b>July 6,</b> to explore the salt marsh habitat surrounding Scorton Creek in East Sandwich led by Master Naturalist Nancy Wigley. The walk will focus on the history, the plants and the animals of the salt marsh, as well as the surrounding coastal forests. Foot-wear that can get wet is encouraged to be able to get into the creek and explore. Meet at the entrance to the Game Farm property on Route 6A. Binoculars, bug spray and a hat are recommended. Fee is $20, and advance registration is required online at <b><a href="http://www.thorntonburgess.org">www.thorntonburgess.org</a><o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center;line-height:150%'><b>-#-<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal>Joan DiPersio<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Public Relations Coordinator<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thornton W.
