About the program

How it works

Community programming is how most people first meet the Coastal Bays: a guided paddle through a marsh creek, a shoreline walk, an evening talk, or a hands-on workshop on rain gardens and native planting.

Programs are designed to move people along a path — from curiosity, to understanding, to taking part in monitoring, restoration or advocacy.
