This guided outing focuses on the salt marsh and coastal ecosystems that shape Bayshore Preserve. Along the way, we’ll look at the restoration work that has taken place at the preserve and head down toward Oakland Bay during low tide to observe the plants, animals, and habitats revealed when the water recedes.
