Annual Sea Oats Planting Needs Volunteers

St. Pete Beach was recently named one of the best beaches in the world, and the St. Pete Beach Government is looking for your help to keep it that way.

The City of St. Pete Beach has partnered with Pinellas County Environmental Management, the Sirata Beach Resort, and The Florida Aquarium for a large-scale Wild Sea Oat planting event 

Wild Sea Oats planted at beaches help to stabilize and establish dune systems that prevent erosion and create habitats for wildlife.

The effort will take place on Saturday, June 30th starting at 9:00am behind the Sirata Beach Resort, 5300 Gulf Blvd. in St. Pete Beach. Volunteers are encouraged to bring loves, small hand shovels, sun block, hats, beach shoes, watering cans or milk jugs, and knee pads. 

Parking and bottled water will be provided throughout the event.
