Worshop: Wednesday, May 20th at Brock Environmental Center
5:30-6:15 -- Materials pickup for returning participants
6:30-7:30 -- Training for new participants
Help LRNow catch baby oysters as we continue to restore oysters in the river. This exciting program if fun, easy, and it gives us the opportunity to capture valuable data about spat (or baby oyster) distribution throughout the Lynnhaven. You will need access to a pier anywhere in the Lynnhaven River system to participate.
NEW PARTICIPANTS are invited to attend a training workshop from 6:30-7:30 PM on May 20th at the Brock Environmental Center, where you will receive two cages, all the materials you need, and instructions on maintaining the cages throughout the summer and fall. We ask new participants to pay $30 to defray the cost of the materials.
RETURNING PARTICIPANTS who already have cages and would like to participate for another year can bring their spat catcher cages to the Brock Environmental Center between 5:30-6:15 PM on May 20th to pick up new materials. The cost for returning participants is only $10.
We welcome our new participants and thank those who are returning for your support of this important program.
