April 8 Wreck Island Field Trip (rain date April 9): Enjoy a day of birding
while exploring the unique coastal communities on this pristine barrier
island that provides critical nesting habitat for a variety of shorebirds.
Observe restored submerged aquatic vegetation beds and an oyster reef
sanctuary and learn how natural forces are continuously reshaping the island
(in fact, the island has changed its northern end in just the last year!).
Boats will leave Oyster Harbor at 9AM for the 20-minute ride to Wreck Island
and return at about 2PM; limited to 12, bring your lunch and water.  Note:
This preserve is managed as a Natural Area, no public facilities are
available.  Trip is co-sponsored by The Virginia Eastern Shorekeeper Program
and CVWO.  For more information or to sign up contact Dot Field, Natural
Heritage Eastern Shore Region Steward at dot.field at dcr.virginia.gov.
