Beach Naturalist Class – Spring 2018 
Explore the shore and learn about our coastal landscape. What lives in the intertidal zone? How do beaches form? Are sea stars recovering from the wasting disease? Offered this spring by Jefferson County WSU Extension, classes are held Wednesdays, 3/28 to 5/2 from 9 am to 4 pm at the WSU Extension classroom in Port Hadlock. Students learn about intertidal habitats, coastal geology, kelp, plankton, oceanography and more in this 6-week class.

Each session includes classroom lectures by regional experts and field trips to explore new and familiar beaches with fresh perspectives. Field trip locations include Port Townsend, Discovery Bay, Dabob Bay and Port Hadlock. Participants are expected to volunteer 40 hours for local marine-related programs over the next year. Cost is $150, scholarships are available.
