Marsh Creek Life: Gradients of Biodiversity

  • Nantucket Umass Field Station 180 Polpis Road Nantucket, MA, 02554 United States (map)

Do you wonder what is living in the marsh? Join members of the NBI aquatic threats committee at the UMass Nantucket Field Station as we explore and survey aquatic and related biodiversity in Folger's Marsh along Fulling Mill Creek. Learn about the water that flows in and out of the marsh and take measurements. Identify and log the many interesting species that make up the marsh community!

Park at the visitor lot and stroll to the lab where we will meet before going into the marsh to record marsh creek biodiversity. Expect to step into water. Children are most welcome but must be accompanied by an adult.
