Oyster Shell Bar Projects
This event is no longer on sale.
Saturday April 22
9:00 AM
–
12:00 PM
Join us on Earth Day to build an oyster shell bar, plant native grasses, and clean up the shoreline of Lassing Park!
If you would like to volunteer with a group, please contact Rachel Arndt directly at
rarndt@tampabaywatch.org
.
The oyster shell project involves shoveling fossilized shell into mesh bags, transporting the bags via boat and placing them on the shoreline to create a series of oyster bars. This project is an effort to restore lost habitat systems to the bay, prevent further erosion of the shoreline and improve water quality through natural biological filtration.
