Help us clean our coastline of trash and debris while discovering more about local shellfish and shells.

Earth Day Shore Planting
Monday, April 22 from 5-6:30 p.m.
Bayshore Waterfront Park, Port Monmouth
Earth Day is a wonderful opportunity to flex your green thumbs and plant some trees to help us restore our native maritime forest. By planting native plants, your actions will provide valuable food and shelter for local wildlife! Plants are in limited supply so this program will be under a first come first serve basis.
