Salt marshes exist at the boundary of land and sea. The plants that inhabit the marsh must be able to tolerate being periodically inundated with salt water, which is fatal to most other plants. Marsh plants, which have adapted to these stressful conditions, are incredibly productive and unique. Join us in this exploration of the largest salt marsh in New England. This September 18 Native Plant Trust easy, muddy hike in Rowley, Massachusetts will feature salt marsh plants such as Spartina, Triglochin, Pluchea, Suaeda, and Salicornia. The tour will begin at 10:30 am with Robert Buchsbaum, and is $30 for NPT members, $36 for nonmembers. Need we say, dress appropriately.
