Wallops Island Field Trip

Release date: October 25, 2007 |

During October 19-21, students in Prof. Cynthia Kicklighter’s Field Ecology Laboratory class took a field trip to Wallops Island, VA where they stayed at the Wallops Island Marine Science Consortium. Students enthusiastically identified and investigated the plants, animals, and seaweeds found in salt marsh and mudflat habitats. During a break from all their hard work, the group went for a hike on Assateague Island, where they saw wild ponies.
