Celebrate winter with a beautiful short hike and lots of science at China Camp State Park! Join
scientist and educator Sarah Ferner from San Francisco Bay National Estuarine Research
Reserve for a walk near the edge of China Camp’s tidal salt marsh during one of the highest high
tides of the year – a King Tide. Nature should put on a quietly beautiful show as the rising tide
slowly floods the marsh. We will learn about the marsh, scientific research occurring there, and
what king tides can teach us about sea level rise. Bring your camera to participate in California
King Tide Initiative’s citizen science photo monitoring. Registration required.

Cost: Free.

What to be prepared for: Please dress appropriately for weather, including walking on trails
that will likely be wet or muddy and standing still in windy conditions. This event is primarily
for adults.
What to bring: Camera, binoculars

Meeting place: Turtleback Hill Nature Trail within China Camp State Park. Please enter the
Park from the East (Peacock Gap/Downtown San Rafael). If N. San Pedro Rd is flooded, the
