Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center and coastal cleanup

Sunday the cubs had a chance to visit the Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center and get a guided tour of the shoreline and the many things that make it special.

Perched on stilts above a salt marsh, the Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center is your introduction to the ecology of the San Francisco Bay Estuary. It features exhibits, programs, and activities designed to inspire a sense of appreciation, respect, and stewardship for the bay, its inhabitants, and the services they provide. After getting an overview of the park and its features, join a naturalist on one of the many weekend interpretive programs offered.

As part of their visit, the cubs also picked up trash that had gathered in the estuary. Donning gloves and trash bags, scouts gather up several bags worth of garbage including paper, Styrofoam, rubber, plastic, clothes, metals, and some unknown items.
