About this event
Kayaking Takayna's rivers for science
We will survey for the Azure Kingfisher along rivers that are known to be home of the species. Previous experience with kayaking is required, but we will only go to easy and slow moving river sections (no strong currents or boulders). Possibility to rent Kayak at the Tarkine Hotel.
