The Kennebec Estuary Land Trust normally holds programs every summer on the clam flats at Reid State Park in Georgetown to teach people how to gather clams. Due to the pandemic, KELT was not able to offer the programs this summer. Instead, they have created a video to disseminate the information. Maine Shellfish Warden Jon Hentz demonstrates how to dig for clams, and KELT Program Coordinator Ruth Indrick presents a clam dissection, water testing procedures and information about the invasive green crab. To view the video, as well as past videos, lectures and other virtual content, visit kennebecestuary.org/virtual-learning-library.
