As oyster roasts start to slow down and the weather starts to warm up in the lowcountry, here at SCORE, we know that means one thing...reef building season is here!
We are gearing up for all things field days. From digging tidal creeks, to building new oyster reefs and planting marsh grass, our team will be creating new habitat until the wheels fall off (...sometimes literally)
 So far, this roast season we have recycled 26,413 bushels of shell! And we are still going! Let's hear it for the recycling side of the SCORE team! *Buzzer sounds and the crowd goes WILD *
Keep recycling your shells and continue to help spread the word about our public recycling drop off sites!
 ...where the spartina is!
Come help the SCDNR SCORE program fill up their greenhouses this year. We need help planting spartina seedlings at Fort Johnson for marsh restoration this summer. This event includes sitting at tables and planting spartina seedlings in soil pots. It is relaxing and very therapeutic.
*more plantings to come in April!*
