There’s more to the West Side of San Juan Island than orcas! Dr. Megan Dethier, of the University of Washington and long-time researcher at the Friday Harbor Laboratories, and Dr. Drew Harvell, professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University, will lead an exploration of the intertidal zone at the Land Bank’s Deadman Bay Preserve on San Juan Island.

Spend the morning among an amazing diversity of spineless animals (invertebrates) and learn how they feed, reproduce, and interact with each other. Wear some old sneakers or come prepared to get wet up to your knees. If you have a plastic magnifying glass, bring it! Kids welcome with adult supervision.

Meet and park at the Lime Kiln Point State Park main lot – Discover Pass or parking fee required – participants will walk to the preserve.
