Other Things to Remember:

Some water quality tests require students to enter the creek. Rubber boots or shoes that can get wet are best. Closed-toe shoes are recommended.
Bathrooms, drinking water, and the creek kits are available at the Bear Valley Visitor Center. This should be your first stop when visiting Point Reyes National Seashore.
Have students bring bag lunches since you will be visiting during lunch time.
If you have a student with accessibility concerns, please call the Park for suggestions.
