About the Event

Join us again this fall to plant native salt marsh grasses for a restoration site at Cutts Cove in Portsmouth! Salt marshes provide needed intertidal habitat, stabilize shorelines, and store carbon in the soil. Come out to get a little muddy and learn a little about an awesome ecosystem! For those of us who helped out in the spring, we will be planting Spikegrass in the high mrash of the site and a dozen shrubs in the upland buffer slope. We could really use the help to plant all 2000 plugs!

Free parking is available at Christ Community Church (200 Chase Drive) and walk to the living shoreline through Market Street Park. Gloves, snacks, and water are provided. Feel free to stay as long as you'd like!

What to bring

Clothes and hiking shoes (preferrably) -- anything you don't mind getting muddy and a bottle of water. No need for muk boots on this one!
