The Green Eggs & Sand workshop explores the Green Eggs & Sand curriculum
modules and provides demonstrations of the rich assortment of hands-on
activities it offers. Throughout the workshop, you'll hear from expert
presenters on horseshoe crabs (HSCs), shorebirds, biomedical use of
HSCs, and HSC management. We'll visit the sanctuary beach at high tide
to observe horseshoe crab spawning and shorebird feeding, and have the
opportunity to help biologists tag horseshoe crabs.  Before and after
the formal workshop sessions, you'll have an opportunity to explore
Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, a 1,100 acre preserve with 5 miles of
trails that traverse pine woods, salt marsh, coastal heathland,
freshwater ponds, tidal creeks, and sandy beaches.
