Paulsboro High School seniors and recent graduates visited Sedge for two, one-day programs. Under the sponsorship of Exxon Mobil, these students traveled to Sedge to enjoy another in their series of environmental education experiences coupled with a work related program in their hometown.
Because Paulsboro students come for one day only, it is difficult to fit in many activities. Both groups enjoyed paddling in the salt marsh natural channels and mosquito ditches where they viewed a variety of birds including egrets, osprey and the peregrine falcon. With the water warming up, a long stop at the “Bahamas” (the sandbar to the southwest of Sedge) was in order. Here we were treated to an up close view of several brown pelicans. We watched as they took off, circled and then dived for fish right near where we had stopped the kayaks. After lunch the students did some water quality sampling prior to leaving.
