The first beach walk, held on Monday, June 6, was a perfect day -- warm with a cooling sea breeze, and 21 people came to Fay Bainbridge to explore the tidal flats with us.
This note comes to tell you of a correction in one beach walk day, as well as inform you of a walk in early July. And if you are interested in beach monitoring, that program is gearing up this summer.
Any Beach Naturalist is encouraged to initiate activities through this newsletter, and any Beach Naturalist can join in to assist or participate in whatever way s/he is able--at the beach, in the schools, with publicity, conducting beach monitoring or other creative ways you develop.
This newsletter will include information about coming events and opportunities to volunteer with the Bainbridge Beach Naturalists, right here on the island. Summer is a great time for low-tide day time trips, so come join us.

We have set some times for Beach Walks at Fay Bainbridge Park on the north end of the island. Join us during these low tide times to hone your own skills on the beach and to assist others to find treasures they might never have noticed before. This is a great time to become more comfortable with introducing the public to the wonders of our Puget Sound beaches.
 Monday, June 13, 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Saturday, June 18, noon - 2:30 pm
MONDAY, June 20, 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Wednesday, June 29, 9:30 am - 11:30 am
Sunday, July 3, noon - 2:00 pm
Please let us know which days you can help with this activity. The weekend dates may bring more people to the beach, and your assistance with those walks would be greatly appreciated.

 Bainbridge Beach Naturalists are just getting started in creating a presence here on the island. One goal is to help provide an education for visitors to our beaches. We are working with the Bainbridge Island Metro Parks and Recreation District to provide beach naturalist opportunities at Fay Bainbridge Park. On June 15, several Beach Naturalists are being trained in beach monitoring. Our goal is to expand the monitoring to beaches around the island, and we are working with the City of Bainbridge Island to identify their priority beaches. We may also work with Bainbridge Island Land Trust, as they have requested a monitoring program for their beach properties. So there are many opportunities to become involved right here on the island. We can all learn a lot and it's fun! |
