Description

Join our partners at DNERR and John Dickinson Plantation for a free morning of history and science. Sip tea while learning about the historical purposes of tea, specifically how tea was integrated throughout life at the John Dickinson Plantation. But tea isn’t just for drinking, it is also for innovative research! Learn how DNERR scientists use tea to measure decomposition in the marsh surrounding the St. Jones River. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
