Volunteers will help with the restoration of the Eastern Branch of the Elizabeth River, our most polluted tributary, by installing native grasses and plants along the bank. The project will be one of the largest plantings and natural shoreline installations undertaken by the Elizabeth River Project. This is a great opportunity for older girls to work alongside our scientists, learn more about the environment and play in the dirt!
For more information and to register, contact Grace Saunders at gsaunders@elizabethriver.org or 757-399-7487.
Suggested attire: because the site is a wetland, we recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit sandy and/or muddy. If you have your own work gloves, please bring them, otherwise, we will have a few extra onsite. Also, bring water, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, and anything else to help you with being in the elements.
