Join us as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the VIMS Teaching Marsh, a one-acre tidal wetland restoration and education project.

Karen Duhring, a Marine Scientist with the Batten School & VIMS' Center for Coastal Resources Management (CCRM) will share a historical account of the conception and restoration of this important marsh habitat, as well as an insight into the important ecological and educational services that it continues to provide: from filtering storm water runoff to serving as a demonstration area for communities to learn about native wetland plant and animal species.

Registration is required.

After Hours lectures are designed for an adult audience.

We are excited to offer this lecture in-person in McHugh Auditorium on VIMS' Gloucester Point Campus! This lecture will also be available as a live-streamed webinar. Registration is required for both in-person and webinar attendees. Webinar links will be sent in all registration confirmation emails. At this time, we are expecting a hybrid event, but registrants will be notified in advance if the event moves to a virtual only format.

This event will be photographed and/or videotaped. By attending this event, each participant consents to being photographed and/or videotaped and authorizes VIMS/William & Mary to use such photographs and videos for VIMS/W&M media purposes.
