Join Sierra Club and Oyster River Ecology for a hands-on coastal restoration experience! We’ll learn about the importance of oysters and their role in local waters, then get to work building Oyster Rag Pots that will be used for habitat restoration in the Bay. We’ll start with a 45-minute presentation by Oyster River Ecology explaining the “what and why” behind oyster restoration and the Oyster Rag Pot technique. Oyster River Ecology developed this innovative approach to help overcome some of the cost barriers that can make large-scale oyster restoration challenging. Then, we’ll spend about an hour getting hands-on and building rag pots*. These structures will eventually provide habitat where oysters can attach and grow, so your work will directly contribute to local restoration efforts. ### What to Expect A 45-minute educational presentation About an hour of hands-on rag pot building Working with cement and fabric, so expect to get dirty!
