Regional Director: Jeffrey J Kline
Day of Contact: Kim Frampton McManus
Our December field trip takes us to a quaint nature gem of a park. Vereen Park and Gardens is situated on a broad salt marsh along the Intracoastal Waterway, and has three miles of trails and a nice marsh boardwalk and fishing pier. The park features historical
sites as well as a beautiful natural environment, including a stretch of the colonial-era King’s Highway, and the Vereen family cemetery with Revolutionary War graves. There will be opportunities for kayaking also, if anyone wants to bring their own boat.

Regional Director Jeffrey J Kline is scoping out a restaurant for us to try after our field trip is over. Since we’ll be just south of the famous eating destination of Calabash, NC, I think you can probably expect to dine on some Calabash-style seafood!
