Join the Sassafras River Association as they paddle the upper reaches of the Sassafras River to view one of the area’s largest heron rookeries on Saturday, March 31st, from 4:00pm-6:00pm. Early spring is the ideal time to view herons and the diverse avifauna of the upper Sassafras. You’ll see dozens of heron nests, plenty of adult herons, and maybe some chicks! There are also two bald eagle nests within paddling range for those interested.
Bring your kayaks or canoe, a life jacket for all paddlers, and binoculars. SRA will provide a limited number of boats for attendees.
Registration required by Monday, March 26th to reserve a canoe, or register before Thursday, March 29th if you’re using your own canoe/kayak.
