Volunteer Day
PLANT A TREE WITH US!
Our team holds frequent volunteer events to train community stewards to protect, nourish, and monitor the native habitat so it will thrive and so that its waters will remain healthy to feed a healthy gulf. Projects include hands-on habitat upkeep, invasive species removal, monitoring water quality and flow, native plantings, cataloguing native plants for Dr. Earle’s private collection (to be donated to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History). We work with local organizations including Keep Pinellas Beautiful, Native Plant Society, KnowBe4, the City of Dunedin, local native plant nurseries, and more.
PUT ON YOUR SNORKEL!
A healthy landscape feeds a healthy Gulf and vice versa. Be part of our shoreline cleanups, seagrass and mangrove restoration, fish and seabird counts, anti-erosion projects, and more. Learn about the delicate balance between waters flowing into and out from the Gulf. With the local Scubanauts group and others we walk the shore, swim, snorkel, and scuba to know and help the waters and wildlife inside out—and to make a difference while getting wet.
