Join us for a rewarding volunteer event at Salt River Bay as we plant mangroves to help restore and revitalize our coastal ecosystem!

Mangroves play a crucial role in protecting shorelines, improving water quality, and providing habitat for diverse wildlife.
When: Tuesday, April 22nd, from 8:00 AM to 11 AM. Everyone is to gather at Christiansted National Historic Site at 8:00 AM, in order to caravan to the site. If individuals want to drive separately or meet at the site, please email kristen_ewen@nps.gov for directions.
Where: Salt River Bay NHP and EP.
Our Goal: NPS staff and volunteers will work together to plant mangroves at two priority restoration sites in Salt River Bay. Be prepared to get a little muddy!
Registration: Sign up today! Don't forget to register below to secure your attendance and receive extra information!
