Amphitheater
When
Sept. 13, 2025. 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
What do you get when you cross an Ostera fossil with living oysters? A total past and present shoreline experience! Join us and our Girl Scouts of America friends on a hunt for prehistoric relics at fossil beach and modern marine life along the living shoreline. The tide will be low enough to search for shells and shark's teeth. But living creatures will be active with the in coming tide. Keep a relic and find a cool specimen for a temporary aquarium all in the same adventure.
