WHAT: Join Save The Bay and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for saltmarsh restoration work on the Narrow River! We will be loosening compacted soil, planting high marsh grasses, and hand-watering new plants.
WHERE: Meet at 94B Middlebridge Rd., Narragansett, RI 02882. This is the expected meeting location; it is possible some shifts may need to meet at nearby Sprague Bridge instead. Please check your messages before you leave just in case we need to make this switch.
WHEN: See below for shifts, and sign up for as many as you like!
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.

- Pre-registration is required.
- Age requirements: Participants in this planting must be 18+. Ages 16+ may participate only if volunteering with a parent or legal guardian.
- Participants must be comfortable with outdoor work and able to lift 25 pounds.
- Team volunteering is not enabled for this project; reach out to July Lewis at jlewis@savebay.org if you are interested in signing up a small team.
