DISCOVERY DAYS

Every summer, we host weekly Discovery Days on our campus. Discovery Days are free, family friendly, and open to all. They are held every Wednesday during summer and include a group tour of our preserved salt-marsh, our working beehives, our terrapin nesting gardens and, last but not least, LBI’s most famous nesting pair of ospreys, Jack & Wendy.
