Watershed Volunteer Opportunity

Hello All!


In the next 2 weeks, we will be working with our 4th grade watershed classes to plant the grass they have been growing in class, plus additional plugs that have been growing at the Shepherd University greenhouse, at sites on their own school property. These sites have been chosen to help prevent erosion that leads to runoff into the Potomac River and ultimately, the Chesapeake Bay. This is the culmination of the students’ hard work since February!

If any of you are available to help even one time, it would be marvelous! Most of the students have never planted anything before and they need directions. We also have to help loosen the soil at the site before they arrive. We really, really need help in Morgan County! (And feel free to pass the word or bring reinforcements!)

I have attached a copy of the planting schedule so that you can see what might fit into your schedule. Thanks in advance for considering this project!
