When: Saturday, August 5th at 9:00Am
Where: Swett Marsh in Georgetown
Changes that were made to marshes for agriculture in the 1700s, 1800s, and early 1900s are causing problems for marshes today, particularly as sea level is higher now than it was when people were farming on the marshes. KELT, the Town of Georgetown, and other partners are currently doing a restoration project at Georgetown’s Swett Marsh. As a follow-up event to the lecture on August 1st, join KELT Project Director, Ruth Indrick, to see the way the historical agriculture is reflected in the marsh and view where restoration work will happen at the marsh over the next few years.
Registration is required, using the Google Form below. Directions will be sent after registration.
