Start planning your fall field trips now! The St. Jones Reserve hosts on site field trip opportunities for your school September through June!
Muckless Marsh Walk Time: 30-45 minutes Grades: 5-12
The Muckless Marsh Walk introduces students to the St. Jones Estuary through a walking tour of the Reserve. Along the way, the values and functions of estuaries, watershed health, and wetland ecology are discussed. Students will identify plants and animals of the tidal salt marsh ecosystem.
St. Jones Estuary – Past to Present Time: 4 hours Grades: 3-8
Staff from the John Dickinson Plantation (Delaware Division of Cultural and Historical Affairs) in a cooperative effort with the St. Jones Reserve staff will present the history of the St. Jones River and the surrounding area. Students will become aware of the human impact on the estuary as we examine early settler use of the land at the Plantation and learn about the historical and modern uses of the estuary’s natural resources. Other activities may include the Muckless Marsh Walk and some water quality monitoring.
For more information and registration, please call the St. Jones Reserve at (302) 739-3436.
