Salt Marsh and Forest
Friday, April 23, 2010; 10:00 a.m.

Audubon Emilie Ruecker Wildlife Refuge
Seapowet Avenue, Tiverton, RI

Join Audubon for a morning tour of the forest and salt marsh in the Audubon Society of Rhode Island's Emilie Ruecker Wildlife Refuge. This 50-acre refuge protects valuable forest and marsh on the shore of the Sakonnet River in Tiverton. On the walk to the marsh, naturalists will point out some of the fascinating resident plants, animals and fungi. Salt marshes are home to specialized and sensitive plants, algae and animals and also serve as nurseries for many ocean species. At near low tide we will explore some of the unique features of this ecosystem not always accessible to the public. The Ruecker parking lot is on Seapowet Ave in Tiverton. Wear sturdy waterproof shoes and appropriate clothing. This is a flat but occasionally mucky walk.
Ages: 5+
