The public is invited to traverse the soft-shell clam flats with Georgetown’s shellfish warden Jon Hentz and learn to dig clams. No clam digging license is needed to dig a peck of clams in the state park. Hentz has been warden for several towns in the Kennebec estuary region for over a decade. He will share clam-digging techniques as well as information about the local clam harvesting industry. The event is free and open to the public, but there is a fee to enter the park.
