The Chesapeake Bay Foundation is looking for volunteers to grow underwater grass in their homes, schools or businesses to help restore the Bay and its tributaries.
The grass, a wild celery, helps ward off pollution and provide food and shelter for blue crabs, fish and wildfowl.
Workshops for this “Grasses for the Masses” program will be held in February in Northern Virginia. Each attendee will get a $40 grow kit, seeds and instructions.
After 10 to 12 weeks, growers will gather to plant their grasses in select local rivers.
