Volunteers needed on June 26th: St. Pete Beach Sea Oats Planting Event

On Saturday, June 26th, the City of St. Pete Beach will host its Annual St Pete Beach Sea Oats Planting Event, and volunteers are needed to help plant over 5,000 sea oats seedlings in the sand dunes of Pass a Grille beach from 8:00 am til 11:00 am.

Sea oats are a vital part of St. Pete Beach's beach preservation program:  as the sea oats plants grow, they trap sand from being blown away by wind, helping to form dunes that increase the size of the beach and provide habitat and food for beach wildlife.

Volunteers will meet at Hurley Park Pavilion, 1501 Gulf Way in historic Pass a Grille in St. Pete Beach.  Parking passes and bottled water will be provided.   More information can be obtained by downloading the City's Information Sheet for the Sea Oats Planting Event.

If you are interested in participating in this wonderful event, please RSVP at SPB City Hall at 727 367-2735.  Please leave your name, email address and the number of people who will be volunteering with you.
