The Buzzards Bay Coalition and Osprey Sea Kayak Adventures will conduct a guided paddle up the Weweantic River on Friday, August 23, from 9 a.m. to noon.

Participants will discover the rich history and ecology of Buzzards Bay’s largest tributary, where fish, birds, and other wildlife flock to feed and breed.

The program will meet at the boat ramp at the rest stop on Interstate 195 East in Wareham. During the paddle, participants will stop at the Coalition's Horseshoe Mill property, located just upriver from the I-195 overpass, to explore the conservation area.

The cost for the program is $30 per person for Buzzards Bay Coalition members and $40 per person for the general public. Participants who do not own a kayak can rent one from Osprey Sea Kayak Adventures for an additional $15.

Pre-registration is required for the program. For more information and to RSVP, contact Alicia Pimental at pimental@savebuzzardsbay.org or 508-999-6363, ext. 226.

The Weweantic River Paddle is part of the Coalition’s Bay Adventures series – programs designed for explorers of all ages to get outside and discover Buzzards Bay. To learn more about all of the Coalition’s Bay Adventures, visit www.savebuzzardsbay.org/BayAdventures.
