The Virginian-Pilot
Above, branches frame education coordinator Tracy Matthews, in back
of the canoe, and Leigh Bracy and Leah Jones as they navigate a
freshwater pond at the Nags Head Woods Ecological Preserve. The trio
were studying the nature of the rare maritime forest Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Daniel Holt, right, culls through a dip net for critters
in the pond's brine as part of the Maritime Mysteries program.
Participants are spending a week banding birds, hiking, canoeing and
collecting scientific data about the region. by CNB
