Volunteers will be threading recycled oyster shells from our Shuck and Share program onto mats using biodegradable zip ties. No experience is needed - we'll show you what to do!

Be sure to wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty, bring sun protection (though we will be under cover most of the time) and a reusable water bottle. MDC will provide gloves and tools.

Volunteers ages 10-17 must be accompanied by an adult. This is not recommended for young children.

**Please Note**
This workshop takes place at our main campus. We also have separate workshops occurring Mondays and Fridays from 9am-12pm at Indian River Lagoon Preserve Park, 700 Sandpiper Ave.
