Tampa Bay Watch in partnership with SWFWMD Surface Water Improvement & Management (SWIM) Program is recruiting 100 volunteers for a high marsh planting of Rock Ponds Borrow Pit in Ruskin on the morning of Friday, August 19 from 9am – noon. The address of the meeting location is 44235 Lavender Road, Ruskin, FL 33570. Detailed driving directions will be given to registered volunteers. This project is family-friendly and open to all ages.
The Rock Ponds project is the largest coastal ecosystem restoration project in Tampa Bay. The site was historically agriculture fields, shell mining pits, and surrounded by non-native and nuisance plant species. This site has been partially filled and recontoured to provide over two miles of new Tampa Bay shorelines and islands in need of plants.
