Whether you are a parent with young children, a budding naturalist, or a concerned citizen, Padilla Bay Reserve offers educational programs for you.
The Reserve offers monthly children’s classes on a variety of estuary topics. Our Public Education Offerings for adults, supported by the Padilla Bay Foundation, cover many natural history and environmental topics. Families and individuals of any age can also join summer mudflat safari excursions into the eelgrass meadow or help pull a beach seine net to learn about the fish in Padilla Bay.
Most of our classes are FREE, though we gratefully welcome donations to the non-profit Padilla Bay Foundation. To view the current offerings, visit the Reserve’s WEBSITE.
