Kid’s Day: Horseshoe Crabs

|||::
30048 Cedar Neck Rd. Ocean View, DE 19970

Learn about horseshoe crabs, why they make their way onto the beaches of the Inland Bays, and participate in a demonstration survey. This program dives into the ecology, anatomy, and benefits of horseshoe crabs using a lifelike model (and hopefully a living organism!). Participants will have the opportunity to explore the beach and the Preserve and hopefully find a living horseshoe crab!

This program will spend time in and around the water – clothes & shoes that can get wet/sandy are recommended. Closed-toe shoes are encouraged. Please bring water, sunscreen, and insect repellant, if desired, since the Preserve can be buggy.

Please note: Participants under the age of 18 must have a parent/guardian present at all times. Thank you for your cooperation.

This program is weather permitting. Attendance is free and walk-ups are welcome, but registration is encouraged. Questions? Contact Jackie Knoll at [email protected].
