Shoreline Planting at Fort Macon State Park
June 14 @ 9:00 am – 11:00 am
The North Carolina Coastal Federation and Fort Macon State Park invite volunteers to help protect the shoreline, one plant at a time. Volunteers will plant salt marsh grasses to help protect the soundside shore from erosion and create a habitat for marine life.
Volunteers will meet at the Fort Macon State Park Visitors Center parking lot by 9 a.m. Please meet by the parked white Ranger pickup truck, which will guide everyone out to the soundside beach as a group. Volunteers should wear weather-appropriate clothes that can get wet and dirty. Closed-toe shoes that cover the foot are required. Volunteers should also bring a water bottle, hat, sunglasses, and any medications they may need. Snacks, water, sunscreen, bug spray, gloves, and planting tools will be provided.
This event is limited to 30 people and registration is required.
This marsh grass planting event is part of a living shoreline project. For more information on Living Shorelines check out the Living Shorelines Academy. The Living Shorelines Academy is an online exchange of information that encourages the use of environmentally friendly erosion control practices to protect valuable waterfront property.
