A GROUP of Freeport Middle School students spent time at Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park Tuesday morning exploring the shoreline and learning about clamming. The weather was drizzly and a bit windy, and after only 30 minutes the tide came in, saturating some of the students who didn’t wear rubber boots. Several students were both fascinated and “grossed out” by the pile of worms, at top, found by Steve York, a retired teacher who was helping out. York, above left, speaks with volunteer chaperone Kyle Goodrich. At right, students Joe Ashby, left, Colin Stewart, center, and Jack Sawicki make their way from a rocky area through about a foot-and-a-half of water to a set of wooden stairs that led away from the shore. The tide rolled in quickly, so some students were not able to make it to the stairs without getting wet. “Unfortunately these dates were set a long time ago, and I can’t control the tides, so we have to just do the best we can,” said seventh-grade science teacher Kathleen Brown. Some students will also be exploring this same area on Friday morning.
