We're looking for volunteers to help us restore oyster habitat in the estuary around Perico Preserve. Help us bag shell and build oyster mats and then cool down by learning about oyster biology with games, science experiments, and activities. We'll wrap up with a free lunch for each volunteer around noon. Volunteer workday sponsored by Sarasota Bay Estuary Program, Manatee County Parks and Natural Resources Department, and Around the Bend Nature Tours. This project is part of the Gulf Oyster Recycling and Renewal Program. The initiative has many partners, including START, Manatee County Parks and Natural Resources Department, UF/IFAS Manatee County, the Chiles Group, the Gulf Shellfish Institute, and the Tampa Bay Estuary Program. This event suitable for ages 10 and up with parent/guardian supervision. To register, visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/oyster-extravaganza-at-perico-preserve-tickets-33600321466
