In addition to stabilizing shorelines\, they conserve and restore natural habitats and provide ecosystem services. \nVolunteers are needed for a living shoreline installation. Volunteers will be planting along a shoreline\, but need to be well prepared for hot weather. Please bring water and dress accordingly. \nVolunteers also need to feel comfortable handling a dibble bar (a heavy\, 10 pound rod used to insert into the ground to open a hole for a planting) and walking on uneven surfaces. Tools will be provided for volunteers\, to be used individually and not shared. We do ask that you bring your own gloves. \nPlease register for volunteer projects below and we will be in touch with further details and location/directions as the date approaches. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n u\n \n \n Contact: Ryan Walsh Email: rwalsh@thejamesriver.org \n \n \n \n Register Now!
