The Saltbush Line: Grow the Line: Community Planting Days

Help us return the plants we propagated together back to the dunes.

Join SBLC for a series of community planting days as we kick off this year’s Saltbush Line planting. We’ll be returning the saltbush and companion species we propagated together back into the dunes, a simple act that makes a big difference for the health and resilience of our coast.

These sessions are hands‑on, relaxed, and open to all ages. Whether you helped grow the plants in March or you’re joining us for the first time, you’ll learn about the species we’re planting, why they matter, and how community stewardship helps protect our coastline.

Across two weekends and a run of Wednesday sessions, we’ll work our way along the dunes, planting, chatting, and checking in on the young saltbushes already in the ground. It’s a great way to spend time outdoors, meet like‑minded locals, and be part of a project that’s raising the bar for our community.
