WILDWOOD CREST – How did our barrier islands get here? What unique animals and plants live there? How has the ecology of the dunes changed over the last two centuries, and what does the future hold for them? Get answers to these questions and many more Sept. 21, Sept. 28, or Oct. 5 at 10 a.m., at a program of free, family-friendly, multimedia and hands-on explorations of the barrier island ecosystems at the Two Mile Beach Unit of the Cape May National Wildlife Refuge.
These programs will explore how the dunes and barrier islands are formed, and focus on the animals and plants that live between the water’s edge and the first set of dunes. We’ll focus on the plants and animals of the dune shrublands and maritime forest, and discuss the future challenges to these unique ecosystems. These free programs, led by Dr. Ralph Boerner, will combine a dynamic lecture presentation and field trips through the dunes. Families with children are always welcome
