Friday, April 30th, we are excited to launch our kick off event for our Stewardship Sessions, opportunities for you to get involved in local restoration efforts! May 2021 is our Coastal Plant theme month this year, so we will be announcing several ways for you to LEARN, DO, ENJOY or GIVE BACK to our coastal plant communities!
This event will specifically involve potting hundreds of small wetland shrubs to be used for future restoration projects here on the east end of Long Island, but for now will help expand our coastal plant nursery at the Suffolk County Marine Environmental Learning Center (SCMELC) in Southold. They will be potted and grown to a larger size in the nursery area until they reach a size when they can be transplanted into their final planting location this fall. Please come down, earn some volunteer hours while learning about the importance of native coastal plants and wetlands!
