Marine Algae and Ecology of Point Whitehorn
The Koma Kulshan Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society is hosting a field trip to Point Whitehorn Marine Reserve. We will approach from the Birch Bay side, about 3 miles of beach walking. The journey through eelgrass meadows should be as rewarding as the destination.
Rubber boots, field guide, snacks, water, hand-lens, hand towel are recommended. Anticipate MUCH COOLER AND BREEZY conditions than in your garden. All knowledge levels and backgrounds welcome. The theme will be partly instructional but more interpretative: algae as food, art, biology, and ecology. An algae list is provided; bring any field guide you own and like. More detailed information will be provided to registrants.
We will meet at SW corner of Birch Bay State Park near the boat ramp and last toilet facility at 8AM. Discover Pass required for parking. Bob Lemon and Izzi Lavallee will lead up to 10 participants. Required pre-register (or questions) with Bob at lemprev@alphahunt.com or text (360) 378-2657.
