Los niños deberán ser mayores de 10 años para poder asistir y todos los participantes deben poder caminar en la playa. (Contamos con silla de ruedas para playa).

Arte y Naturaleza
Las representaciones del mundo natural y las aves a través del arte tienen el poder de evocar mensajes que la ciencia tiene dificultad para expresar por sí misma. Cuando el arte y la indagación científica se encuentran, reflejan nuestros roles como guardianes del medio ambiente, exponiendo nuestras parcialidades culturales hacia la naturaleza, otorgándonos nuevas oportunidades para apreciar y celebrar el mundo viviente y silvestre.
