SUMMARY:Nursery Marsh Planting at North River Wetlands Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Join us in planting the Nursery Marsh out at North River Wetlands Preserve! This one-acre marsh will serve as a “Mother Marsh” for future restoration projects along the coast.  \n\n\n\nAs the marsh matures\, the Federation will harvest plants sustainably to safeguard and perpetuate the health of the created marsh. This will help supply plants for additional marsh restoration projects. The marsh is a first-of-its-kind plant nursery in North Carolina that commercial nurseries can hopefully replicate in the future. \n\n\n\nVolunteers will meet at the North River Wetlands Preserve gate by 9:30 a.m. and 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.  \n\n\n\nThis event is limited to 30 people and registration is required. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here
