Guided Nature Walk of Sandy Hook Saturday Morning, Aug. 27

Sandy Hook - Looking for something unique to do this weekend? Join naturalists with the American Littoral Society on Saturday morning, August 27, for a walk they will lead through Sandy Hook Gateway National Recreation Area:

Join Littoral Society naturalists for a hike down a sandy path to one of the least visited beaches at Sandy Hook. Along the way we will identify some of the Hook’s edible plants that were an important food source for the early settlers and Native Americans that once inhabited this area. Once we reach the tip of Sandy Hook, we will have the chance to observe shore birds feeding along the mud flats. Bring binoculars, comfortable walking shoes, and lots of sunscreen! Meet at 9:00 a.m., Parking Lot M at Sandy Hook. (In other news, all parking is free this weekend at Sandy Hook in celebration of the National Park Service's 100-year anniversary.)

It's $5 per person to participate in the walk; free for member families Contact: 732- 291-0055 for more information and to reserve.
