Celebrate Conservation Under the Oaks
to
Musgrove Retreat and Conference Center 5720 Frederica Road, Saint Simons Island, Georgia 31522
Coastal WildScapes is holding their 3rd annual fundraising event (Starlight & Spartina an evening under the Oaks) from 4:00-8:00 p.m. on March 7 at the beautiful setting of Musgrove Plantation, a private 600-acre estate nestled under live oaks on St. Simons Island. Formed in 2008, the nonprofit’s mission is to actively preserve and restore the highly significant biodiversity of Southeastern coastal ecosystems by protecting existing native habitats, rebuilding the connectivity of impaired habitats and minimizing future fragmentation of coastal landscapes. This is accomplished through Education Outreach, Conservation Activities, and Grassroots Activities. Coastal WildScapes’ activities include an annual full day symposium, lunchtime and evening lectures, botanical field trips, paddle trips, seed collection trips, native plant sales, habitat certification, member appreciation oyster roast, conservation restoration workdays, and an annual fundraising gala. The Starlight & Spartina event, which helps support these activities, includes live music, great food, and a unique selection of live and silent auction items. Please register by February 20 at coastalwildscapes.org.
