Bring plastic bottles, paper towel rolls, toilet rolls, old magazines, and plastic bags to create your own amazing animal that lives right here in our lagoon. Come with your materials and imagination!
March 15 – Shuck and Share | Come celebrate our amazing oysters in our Lagoon by creating some wind chimes made from our favorite filter feeders.
