Measuring & Cleaning Oyster Gardens (Suffolk)

  • Suffolk, VA United States (map)

Help keep our waterways clean!

Details: Youth will wear waders to get in the water and clean oyster garden cages. They will measure oysters and assess death/life rate.

This is also in Suffolk, VA at a local homeowner who allowed them to build an oyster reef on their property. The address will be sent in an email before the project.

Special Considerations: Appropriate clothing and shoes for outdoor work are required. Closed-toed, sturdy shoes that can get wet and dirty should be worn for cleaning and measuring. Also bring a small bag, water bottle and snack.
