Environment

Salt marshes cushion Maine's coast from the open ocean, sponging up carbon and providing nurseries for fish and feeding grounds for wildlife. Join wetland ecologist Grace Glynn for a beautifully illustrated introduction to the ecology of Maine's salt marshes, including natural history, legacies of agricultural use, current threats to our marshes, and restoration and conservation techniques. With a special focus on our state's largest salt marsh, Scarborough Marsh, this course will equip participants of all ages and backgrounds with the tools needed to better understand their coastal landscapes.
