Grasses for the Masses Orientation 2025

Volunteers in the program grow wild celery, an important underwater grass, in their homes and then plant their grasses at the park to help bolster underwater grass populations.

Combined with efforts to reduce pollution in the Bay, the grasses restoration program helps to improve the Bay’s filtering system and overall health.

To participate in the program all you need to do is to attend an orientation at the park and pick up your supplies. There is an $25 cost for the Grasses Kit, which can be paid in cash on the orientation day. All supplies must be returned to the park on Planting Day. Planting Days will take place May 30 through June 2.

There is a maximum of 10 people per orientation. Registration is required.
