A fun paddle day along the Ashley River for our marsh to mountains course. Spending time among the saltmarsh and birds (bald eagles, spoonbills, tiny pipers!) inspired some teamwork and stability-in-community exercises. We all one! Happy Friday marshmallows!
Thank you @coastalexpeditions !

Don’t know if we’ve ever seen Sharleen geek this hard! She spotted flowering Gulf Coast swallowwort on Bulls Island yesterday, before giving our volunteers the planting rundown! (Pic 3 of flower!) Turns out, in 1996 biologist Billy McCord discovered monarchs ALSO lay their eggs on this flowering goodness for their caterpillars to munch on, proving it to be another important host plant! This is a milkweed relative! Thank you @nativeplantsttp for sharing your passions with lil ol’ Marsh Project!
Over 40 volunteers joined today on Bulls Island with @coastalexpeditions@cofc_envsprogram and our little Marsh to Mountains Maymester course to clean up the beach and plant some natives with @nativeplantsttp ! Here are a few cleaning action shots and @lyntally on banana break. Pt. II (pLaNtInG) mañana!
