独自長文1｜自然観察会：集合場所と雨天時の例外

From: Coastal Learning Center To: Sunday Fieldwork Participants Subject: Updated Meeting Point Thank you for registering for Sunday’s shore observation workshop. The activity will begin at 9:30 a.m. as planned, but please arrive by 9:10 a.m. We originally planned to meet at the eastern entrance of Bay Park.

A trained adult will supervise each group. Light rain will not cancel the outdoor activity. If strong winds make the coastal path unsafe, an indoor lesson will replace the fieldwork.
