WaterTribe Volunteer Project at Ft. DeSoto

Sea Oats Planting (planting 7,000 plants in the sand)
Saturday, October 17, 2020
8am at the Gift Shop (north of the Fort)
Park entry fee waived (Tell staff at the kiosk you are with WaterTribe for the sea oats planting.)

Sorry for the early time. The traffic backup has been really bad on weekend mornings so we’d like to avoid that mess.

Please confirm by responding to this message if you will be attending and, if you are bringing family or friends, how many will be joining you. (No need to respond if you have responded on Facebook.)

Bottled water will be provided. Please bring anything else you would like to eat or drink. Also, please have a mask handy for when physical distancing isn’t possible.

Thank you for supporting WaterTribe giving back to the Park that has been so good to us for two decades!

Sorry for the delay in responding, OEJ.

I heard yesterday that the Park is low on shovels, so please bring one if you have one. We are digging 12’ holes in the sand, so a garden trowel would work too.

Long pants or something to kneel on since some of the planting will be done on our knees is a good idea.

The park is providing water and I’ll bring some snacks. Please bring anything else you would like to eat or drink.

Thanks for volunteering to help!

12 foot holes with a trowel? Mighty big sea oats we be planting!

I will bring my implements and leave the backhoe at home.

So, planning on working in the dunes (dry ground) instead of in the water. Planning on work boots and sun hat instead of water shoes and swim gear. Bringing shovels.

How long should we plan for? Kayaking afterwards? :)

If it's not too late to RSVP, I'll be there along with Eagle, his young cousin Jack, Pelican's Chick, and at least two boy scouts in need of court ordered community service hours! They've all been instructed to bring trowels and shovels if they have them.

Thanks PaddleDancer for a great volunteer project! Ready to plant some more sea oats if they need some more planted before EC 2021. The park does an outstanding job in support of us.
