Lee's Discover Carolina program for 6th grade uses the boardwalk classroom as the field study site. 

Students test the water quality here by collecting macroinvertebrate abundance data.  The students use dichotomous keys to identify the animals.

Animals found along the boardwalk

A walk on the boardwalk will take you into the Lynches River floodplain.  Wildlife along the boardwalk is abundant. 

Depending on the season, you can be treated to sights of damselflies, red-headed woodpeckers, spotted turtles, red belly water snakes, swamp rabbits and more.
