Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve

09 Mar, 06 AM - 09 Mar, 09 AM

Museum Docents facilitate tours of exhibits and activities for approximately 20,000 school children from the tri-county area each year. A tour of the Carpinteria Marsh ecosystem and an understanding of the restoration and research work underway at the marsh will give docents insights into the actual living systems depicted in museum dioramas such as bird habitats and the Carpinteria marsh specifically in our plants and insects (and other arthropods) interaction hall. The museum has held public field trips to the marsh in its past history where we have observed birds, fish, and some of the invertebrates that inhabit the tidal channels. We are hopeful to be able to examine some of these creatures up close with no long-term impact to the natural system. We have no intention to collect any specimens for removal, only for examination and returning to the same location where found.
