Join us for a hands-on volunteer day with the Billion Oyster Project! Help restore NYC’s harbor by cleaning shell substrate, fabricating reef balls, or maintaining the shell pile for the busy season ahead. Shell cleaning involves washing, shaking, and loading shells that will later be seeded with juvenile oysters. Reef ball fabrication includes mixing eco-concrete and filling molds to create new reef structures. You may also assist with shell pile maintenance by clearing debris and organizing materials and equipment. Every task is crucial to the project’s success, and you'll be making a direct impact on the restoration of the harbor's oyster population while getting a little messy in the process! 18+ event, or 16+ with parent or guardian Here is the LINK to the safety waiver / liability form. It is mandatory that everyone signs this to be on site. Schedule: 9:15 AM - Arrive at Battery Maritime Building, 10 South St. Slip 7, to board the ferry to Governors Island.

There are a few spots on the island to buy food, or you can bring your own lunch and eat it anywhere on the island. 1:00 PM - Meet back at the shell pile to continue work. 2:00 PM - Done for the day! Make your way back to the Soisson's Landing in order to make the 2:15 PM ferry. You are welcome to stay on the island and take a later ferry if you wish.
