Nature (legacy URL) FAQs

Why does /nature.html consolidate toward nature & education?
Legacy nature URLs duplicated bay and dune topics—canonical /nature--education.html keeps ecology programs, Assateague links, and family pivots in one structured guide.
Where should families start for dunes, bay ecology, and calmer-day plans?
Open nature & education, then parks and Assateague when you want bigger nature blocks—confirm program hours because shoulder seasons trim schedules.
How do nature day trips affect packed lunches and dinner timing?
Coolers, groceries, and takeout beat hangry trailheads—travel tips help when bridge returns collide with reservation windows.
Is regulation golf part of “nature” on this site?
Not directly—mainland courses are landscaped sport, not ecology programs. Use the golf hub and directory for tee times and drive planning; keep nature and education for dunes, bay learning, and stewardship reads.
