Say Hello to Will Smiley, Resort Ecologist: "Nature Makes Sense"

Will Smiley is the Tides Inn’s first resident ecologist! 

As the resort restores its shoreline in spring and summer 2021, Smiley is bringing exciting programming to guests at the Inn. For example, you can canoe or kayak with him in a two-hour excursion to learn more about aquatic life – even casting a net to see what you catch. Also, in “Chesapeake Gold” tour, guests learn about oysters, pulling up oyster cages and sort these gems of the bay.

He has big plans for sustainability and stewardship for the resort. Plus this native Virginian doesn't mind chatting travel, survival and duck poop.

Will is fun to chat with no matter the topic!
