Volunteers Needed for Magothy Oyster Gardening
The Magothy River Association, in conjunction with the state sponsored “Maryland Grows
Oysters” program, is recruiting oyster gardeners for the 2009-2010 season. If you have
access to a pier on the Magothy River, and can spare a few minutes every week or so, you can
do this! The MGO program is free to all participants.
This is at least a one year commitment. The oysters you grow will be placed on restored
oyster reefs in the Magothy River late in the summer of 2010. We ask that you consider
taking a new batch of oysters at that time to start the process over again.
To sign up, send an e-mail to magothyriversavers@yahoo.com with your name, address, phone,
e-mail, and preferred number of cages (4 minimum).
The oyster pickup is tentatively planned for a weekend in September. Details will be sent as
the program evolves. For more information please visit the following website:
