Free Summer Field Trips Explain the Effects of Tidal Restriction and Restoration

Join us on Monday, July 16th, or Tuesday, August 14th to learn first-hand about 
the effects of tidal restriction and restoration in Herring River.
Retired Cape Cod National Seashore Ecologist John Portnoy will lead the field walk
& talk sessions.  Each session will start at the National Seashore Parking Lot on
Griffin Island at 9 am.
Each session will first follow the trail to the natural salt marsh near the Town
 Landing. There John will explain how the hydrology, chemical cycling, and plant
 and animal communities of salt marshes depend on their intimate connection with
 high-salinity coastal waters.
Next session participants will discuss the 300-year history of alterations to New
England's salt marshes, using Herring River as a typical, though exceptionally large,
example.
Finally participants will walk onto the Chequessett Neck dike, which has blocked
 tides from the estuary's 1100-acre flood plain since 1909, to discuss the damaging
physical, chemical and biological effects of disconnecting the river from the marine
environment.
All are welcome and there is no charge. Anyone interested interested in participating
is asked to rsvp to info at herringriver.org.
