Join us to enjoy a guided hike with sunset views while also viewing the “wicked high tide” or king tide cover the marshes and coastline around The Crane Estate.
This high tide is royalty! Here’s your chance to see the king….tide that is. Join us for a hike to learn about “wicked” high tides, known as king tides, which are happening more often and becoming more impactful due to environmental change. These extreme tides have a variety of impacts on the coast, including blocking access on low lying roads, flooded buildings, and impacts of erosion, debris, and salt-water damage. The king tide also provides us with a window to the future, illustrating what an average high tide might look like in a few decades due to sea level rise. On this hike you will learn what causes king tides, see the tidal impacts first-hand, and learn what The Trustees are doing to increase the coastal resilience of our treasured coastal environments.
This event is suited for all ages and will include a short indoor presentation about king tides and then a hike to view the king tide.
Accessibilility: Please be prepared for a moderately strenuous 2 mile hike over gravel grass & woodland trails with moderate elevation gain.
