A Diamondback Terrapin sits on the ground facing to the left. There is grass visible in the background.

Celebrate Salt Marsh Days at Hammonasset Beach State Park with us! Learn all about the amazing creatures that call Hammonasset home through four days of presentations, special exhibits, salt marsh visits, and activities for all ages.

Audubon is also thrilled to announce a major restoration project will be taking place at the Hammonasset salt marsh over the coming years! Join one of the scheduled tours to learn more in person.
