It's Nature Walk Season in Port Townsend.   That means summer with all sorts of interesting stuff happening between sand and surf.   On the Friday Nature Walks we can turn over rocks (and put them back carefully),  peek under seaweed and wonder about the forces that make our beaches.   And the best part will be sharing all this with our visitors, and a chance to do a little educating, teaching about this wonderful but fragile environment and how to take care of it.
