The Sippican Lands Trust and Tabor Academy have partnered on the waterfront and will offer an informative oyster farming experience for the whole family. The event, entitled “The Inner Workings of the Tabor Oyster Farm,” will be held on Thursday, June 26 from 6:30 – 7:30 pm, rain or shine. Please gather in front of Tabor’s Fireman Performing Arts Center located off of Front Street in Marion. There you will be greeted by Captain Dave Bill from Tabor, who will lead you through the experience.
The Tabor Academy Oyster Farm was started in June 2013 to support and complement the Town of Marion propagation efforts. Tabor has utilized the farm for many interdisciplinary programs including Marine Science, the Arts, Admissions, Freshman curriculum, Alumni, Grandparents, Community Service. Captain Dave Bill will discuss the conception of the farm, the physical set up of the farm, and the benefits and outcomes that have evolved. You will see the oysters up front and personal, and you will learn about the oysters themselves!
Please do not hesitate to contact SLT Executive Director Robin Shields at 508-748-3080 or online at robinshields@sippicanlandstrust.org if you have any questions. We hope to see you there!
