WHAT: Join Save The Bay and the Town of Barrington for the Walker Farm coastal planting project along the shoreline of Hundred Acre Cove. The planting will occur along the restored shoreline where concrete rubble was removed in the fall to restore salt marsh and coastal buffer habitat. Volunteers will plant a variety of native shrubs, trees and perennials that are salt tolerant.

WHEN: Wednesday, June 7, 4-7 PM. Start and end times are flexible; it is fine to come a little later or leave early if needed. 

WHERE: Walker Farm, County Rd (Rt 114), Barrington, RI 02806. SEE MAP for exact location.

PREPARE FOR THE PLANTING:

  • Always dress for the weather in sturdy, closed-toe shoes. Boots are recommended if you have them.
  • Bring your own water - we recommend a reusable bottle!
  • Optional: You may want to bring your own work gloves. Save The Bay will provide shovels, trowels, and gloves if needed.

Registration notes:

  • Pre-registration is required.
  • Age requirements: Participants in this planting must be 16+.
  • Team volunteering: Signing up as a team? See our Team Signup page for helpful information!
  • If the planting is full, join the waitlist! Spaces often open up.
