Library Hosts Audubon Gammino Pond Wetlands Walk

Seekonk, MA – What makes a marsh and how is a pond different from a lake? Learn this and more in the Audubon led program Gammino Pond Wetlands Ecology Walk on Wednesday, July 28 at 6 PM. Participants will meet at the Seekonk Meadows sign at the top of the library parking lot and continue onto Gammino Pond Trail.

Because this is an evening, outdoor 90-minute walk, appropriate dress is strongly recommended; this program is intended for participants age 16 and over. In case of rain, this program will be presented virtually in Zoom. This program is free and open to the public. Space is limited; registration is required. Register in the Events Calendar at www.seekonkpl.org. 

Teacher Naturalist Jeremy Mombourquette of the Oak Knoll Wildlife Sanctuary will lead the walk. You will learn about various wetland habitats in Massachusetts and what makes them different and unique. In this program you’ll find out how each one of these beautiful habitats is home to amazing wildlife called aquatic macro-invertebrates. Discover the life cycle of the dragonfly nymph and how scientists use their presence as bio-indicators of a healthy ecosystem.
