Why Tides Matter


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 09/14/2025
Join us for an in-person presentation and guided tour to learn about tides!

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Docent Laurel Stell will talk and walk you through all things tides. What are they? How do they affect wildlife? How have humans reshaped the Bay's tidal lands?

The presentation will be followed by an easy 0.5-mile walk. All are welcome.
