Join Sultana Projects’ staff naturalists Chris Cerino and John Mann for an incredible paddle on the National Park Service’s new Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. On Saturday, May 14, Chris, John, and a handful of lucky kayakers 
will venture to the headwaters of the Sassafras River and the site of one of the most active Great Blue Heron rookeries on Maryland’s Upper Eastern Shore. In addition to seeing the active Blue Heron population, paddlers can look forward to enjoying a remote, beautiful portion of the Sassafras that is only accessible by kayak.
This 2.5 hour paddle begins at 10am and costs $25 per person. Single-seat kayaks are provided so all you need to bring is sunscreen, a bottle of water, and your binoculars! Advance reservations are required and can be made by calling the Sultana Projects’ office at 410-778-5954.
Sultana’s May 14 “Blue Heron Paddle” is the first of four themed public paddles in 2011. Future paddles for 2011 include an “Osprey Paddle” on June 18, an “American Lotus Paddle” on July 23, and a “Waterfowl Paddle,” on October 15.
