Parker River Behind-the-Scenes Van Tour — Waitlist Only (Ages 12+)
Saturday, October 24, 2026, 10:00 AM · Parker River National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center · Newburyport
This tour is full; the organizer is offering a waitlist for a limited time. Joining it does not guarantee a place. For ages 12 and older, the volunteer-led refuge van tour explores Plum Island’s history, ecology, and wildlife without a walking component. Meet at the visitor center at 6 Plum Island Turnpike, Newburyport—not at the beach parking lots. The program is free. Advance registration is required at https://bit.ly/parkerriversignup and space is limited. Program cancellation notices are shared by email and on the refuge’s Facebook page.
