Venture to Acadia National Park to explore the rocky intertidal zones, mud flats, salt marshes, and spruce-fir forests of Acadia’s stunning coast. Participants should be able to negotiate the irregular, slippery surfaces of the rocky intertidal zone. Bring water, snacks, and a picnic lunch. Rubber boots are recommended for the mud flats. The group will have dinner together at a local lobster pound before returning to Fields Pond (dinner cost not included). We’ll meet at Fields Pond Audubon Center in Holden and travel by van to the coast.
