Plant a salt marsh with Save The Bay! Volunteers will plant salt marsh grasses in this project to protect the marsh from sea level rise. You can read all about a similar project in this article. Our partners in this effort are CRMC, Salt Ponds Coalition, Town of Charlestown, and RIDEM.
Where to meet: We will meet at the Charlestown Breachway parking lot. A boat will ferry volunteers across the breachway to the Ninigret salt marsh restoration area.
What to wear/bring:
- Wear sturdy footwear (hiking boots are ideal) and clothes you don't mind getting dirty.
- Save The Bay will provide work gloves, but please feel free to bring your own.
- Please dress for the weather! Remember, it is often colder and windier by the shore.
- Please bring your own reusable bottle of water if you have one.
- Save The Bay will provide planting tools.
Please complete our volunteer waiver form and bring it with you THE DAY OF the event. We will have extra copies on hand if you are unable to print. NOTE: volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult and must have a parent or guardian sign their waiver.

About Save The Bay
Location:
100 Save the Bay Drive, Providence, RI 02905, US
Mission Statement
Save The Bay protects, restores and improves the ecological health of the Narragansett Bay region, including its watershed and adjacent coastal waters, through an ecosystem-based approach to environmental action; defends the right of the public to use and enjoy the Bay and its surrounding waters; and fosters an ethic of environmental stewardship among people who live in or visit the Narragansett Bay region.
Description
Save The Bay was founded on the community's desire to protect our most precious resource - Narragansett Bay. To do that, Save The Bay has focused on the development of a committed constituency for the Bay. Children and adults throughout this region have learned the tremendous value the Bay brings to our economy, our environment and our quality of life.
In defense of Narragansett Bay and its watershed, Save The Bay has watched over the activities and programs of the government and the citizenry that degrade the environmental quality of the Bay, basin, and watershed. Save The Bay provides educational opportunities for children and adults to explore the Bay, fostering a understanding and a sense of personal responsibility for the resource.
