Environmental Cruise: Trees of Delmarva Cruise

Explore the ecology of the Chesapeake Bay from the deck of CBMM’s 1920 buyboat Winnie Estelle. Join Pickering Creek Audubon Center Director Mark Scallion onboard CBMM’s buyboat Winnie Estelle for an exploration of the trees of Delmarva as seen along the shoreline of the Miles River. Passengers will learn to identify common trees not just by leaves, but also by shapes, bark, and fruit. Along the way, we’ll discuss the ecology of forests and the history and uses of trees in the Chesapeake.

This course assumes no previous expertise and is open to persons of all knowledge levels. Participants are encouraged to bring binoculars.
