Volunteer opportunities for this year!
Spring is coming! 2010 will be a busy year for the City of Gulf Breeze’s Deadman’s Island Restoration Project and schools and volunteers are needed!
Please call if you have any contacts for students (middle school to high school) and volunteers for the upcoming months :
March- help place fossilized and recycled oyster shells in oyster molds for the new structures
April- planting all sorts of vegetation from Mean high water to Dune plants
Summer- snorkelers and certified divers to help count fish, oysters, hermit crabs,oyster drills etc- they will learn important scientific monitoring techniques
I am building hurricane tolerant bird habitats- still in design- but I need people who are familar with birds and bird habitat whom can help with the best design for the types of birds encountered on Deadman’s Island. Deadman’s Island is considered a migratory drop zone for birds.
Please call Heather Reed at 346-2073
