Mangrove Workshop - Sebastian Nursery

MRC runs one of the largest licensed mangrove nursery in the state of Florida. Our Sebastian property is host to our large nursery with ~9000 plants. This nursery provides red, white, and black mangroves that are used for restoration projects across the state.

What will volunteers do?
At mangrove workshops, volunteers help with nursery maintenance while learning about mangrove care and restoration projects. Task generally include potting, re-potting, weeding, and watering plants.

What will volunteers need to bring or wear?
Volunteers should be prepared to be in the Florida heat and humidity. Hats, water, sunscreen (or UPF clothing), and close-toed shoes are required. Gloves, shovels, and kneepads are available but feel free to bring your own from home! There is a bathroom, water fountain, and building with AC on site for breaks.
