it’s our off-season, but spring is coming soon!
We are so grateful to the thousands who have joined us as volunteers–10 years ago to today. We can’t overstate how important your time is to the possibility of this work. To reach our goal of restoring 1 billion oysters to New York Harbor by the year 2035, we need you–one million of you in all five boroughs to join us in stewardship for this work to last generations.
We’re off for the winter, so stay tuned for more on our 2025 volunteer season and check back here in March when slots go live.
