Local Fifth-Grade Students Visit Parker River National
A group of local fifth-grade students spent Wednesday morning at Parker River National. During the visit they waded through cool waters, prepared mesh bags to protect baby oysters, and shucked a few grown oysters to learn more about them.
Students were laughing and smiling as they took part in the activities. The hands-on visit paired time in the field with conservation-focused tasks, giving pupils direct experience with local marine life and efforts to protect it.
