Exploring the Walking Dune In Search of Wild Cranberries and Carnivorous Plants
Sun Nov 13, 2022
10:30am ET
Age: 5 and older
Price: Adults: $15. Children: $10.
Location:
South Fork Natural History Museum & Nature Center
Walk along the trail in the Walking Dunes and search for cranberry plants with ripe berries–as well as other wonders of nature–at the South Fork Natural History Museum.
This area of dune habitat in Napeague is unique among the many sand dunes on Long Island. When the wind blows just right the sand is pushed forward, making the dunes “walk” a few inches each year. After more than 100 years, the dunes have covered and then uncovered a forest. The dunes also contain cranberry bogs that are home to sundews, a type of carnivorous plant.
Advanced reservations are required for all events. To register for this program, contact at info@sofo.org or call 631-537-9735.
