Marrowstone Point Coastal Meadow

The area around the brackish lagoon and adjacent to the research station is an amazing and rare habitat. The wildflowers that are blooming there now are unique and increasingly rare. Following the path from near the parking area near the station entry, look to the west to see an astounding field of checkered lilies. Near the dunes, the habitat evolves into a sandier environment, where American beach grass and big head sedge can be seen. A round trip past the rifle range on the other side of the lagoon is a third rich habitat. Watch for birds in the willows and, of course, around and in the lagoon. Go now while the lilies are in bloom!
