Kids ages 5 and up and their families are invited to a special Ocean Storytime with Charlie the Shark from the Shaw Institute on Thursday, August 15 at 11 am.  This program will take place at the Carter Nature Preserve in Surry on the beach!  For a map of the trail, visit https://bluehillheritagetrust.org/carter-nature-preserve/  We will meet at the first parking area and walk to the beach as a group. Charlie the Shark loves to read books to kids about the ocean and teach them why caring about our oceans is important.  Join him for a fun ocean themed story and a scavenger hunt on the beach.

Participants are encouraged to wear suitable footwear to walk on the beach, a sun hat and sunscreen, and bring a water bottle.

The Shaw Institute’s mission is to discover and expose environmental threats to people and wildlife through innovative science and to engage in global partnerships to improve human and ecological health.  For more information, visit https://www.shawinstitute.org/.
