Volunteer Get-Together
Wednesday, February 5, 2025 – First Wednesday Volunteer get-together and planning session.
This is a very informal gathering of our volunteers and supporters, the later you stay the more informal the evening gets. It is a great chance to meet us and see who we are and what we do.
There is a gate to enter the complex where the restaurant is located. Your server will give you a ticket so you do not have to pay when leaving.
BRING A FRIEND: If you know of someone who wants to volunteer, ask them to join us on Wednesday. We hope everyone interested will come out, meet some interesting people and make some new friends. This is a Dutch event where everyone pays their own tab.

Oyster Reef Build

This is a rain or shine event so watch the forecast and dress accordingly for a day out on the water. We expect 1,000 oyster shell bags this year/
Meet at the WAPPOO CUT boat ramp, get signed in, and learn about the oyster life cycle and why building oyster reefs is important from SCDNR experts. We will load the oyster bags onto boats and barges and all take the trip out to the Stono River to offload and place the oyster bags. Expect to get wet and muddy while making a big impact on water quality in Charleston!
It is best to wear old sneakers instead of mud boots or rain boots. Snacks and beverages will be provided at the end, as well as a free raffle event. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Marsh Cleanup
Saturday, March 22, 2025
This is a rain or shine event so watch the forecast and dress accordingly for a day out on the water. Removing debris from tidal marshes supports wildlife habitat improvement. Plastics, treated wood, tires, and a variety of foams and trash float into the tidal marsh and end up hidden from view well beyond the waterline. Volunteers are needed to help remove this debris and return the area to its natural pristine state.
Meet at the Remley Point boat ramp at 7 am to get signed in and ready to load boats. Expect to get wet and muddy while making a big impact on water quality in Charleston Harbor! It is best to wear old sneakers instead of mud boots or rain boots. Snacks and beverages are provided at the end, as well as a free raffle event.
Prizes will be awarded for the most interesting/unique item found…so hold onto these “gems” until the end and maybe win a prize.
Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
