Oyster Reef Restoration at Robinson Preserve

Join us in making a difference for local wildlife and the health of our waterways! This volunteer event will focus on building up oyster reefs in one of Robinson Preserve’s lagoons. These restored oyster beds will create essential foraging habitat for the American oystercatcher — a striking shorebird listed as a state-designated threatened species.
