Netarts Bay Salt Marsh Tour

Join Friends of Netarts Bay – Watershed, Estuary, Beach, and Sea (WEBS), for this educational guided tour.  This program includes two parts; a presentation followed by a walking tour along the salt marsh at the southern end of Netarts Bay.  The presentation will review salt marsh habitats and give an overview of the common plants found in these areas and how they are adapted to survive in these salty locations. During the walk, explore the salt marsh with biologist and WEBS  volunteer, Jim Young and learn about the plants and animals that live in this unique habitat and the importance of this environment from the forest to the water’s edge.  This field-based walking tour includes an easy to moderate 1.5 to 3 mile hike through muddy, wet sand, and loose sand areas.
