Cranberry Picking at Vermilion
Cranberry Picking at Vermilion
Early fall can be one of the nicest times to visit Vermilion Point. With luck, there will be blue skies, no frost, warm water, fall color, and no bugs. Tom Allan, who lived at Vermilion Point for eight years, will lead a cranberry-picking field trip at this remote preserve. He’ll cover a little history on the old cranberry farm and the life-saving station, and a little bit of wetland and interdunal ecology. Bring your own bucket to fill!
