Neptune Pass
Our final planting event of the year, we planted 150 bald cypress trees in Bay Denesse by Neptune pass, working with this natural sediment diversion to build land in Breton Sound. We also stuck 150 willow cuttings into the water bottom in Quarantine Bay, which will slow the flow to encourage sediment to drop out of the water column and accelerate shoaling and land building
Native Plants Nursery

Throughout the year, we made developments and improvements to our native plant nursery whenever we could This year, we potted 3,000 black mangrove propagules and 2,000 bare-root cypress trees to be grown out until next winter. We also started 17,00 cypress seeds, which will grow for two years before being planted Additionally, we began our fruit orchard, planting five satsuma trees and three pawpaw trees!
