Marsh Mania volunteers restoring habitat

Marsh Mania is Back!

Get ready to roll up your sleeves, get a little muddy, and restore habitat for Galveston Bay!

This year, we are thrilled to announce we will again host two fall planting events with two incredible partners, Exploration Green and Galveston County Parks.

Registration opens August 19 at 10:00 AM

Spots fill up quick! Save time by getting your account ready, then all you have to do is click to sign up. See how to below.

Paul Hopkins Park | September 19

8:00–11:30 AM | Ages 14+ | Breakfast provided
Clean up and get muddy for a special community planting along Dickinson Bayou ↗. We'll start the morning off with a cleanup, then plant smooth cordgrass to restore shoreline habitat connected to Galveston Bay.

40 planter spots available.

Exploration Green | September 26

9:00 AM–12:30 PM | Ages 12+ | Lunch provided

Plant freshwater marsh plants at Exploration Green ↗, where GBF holds a conservation easement protecting this important habitat.

80 planter spots available.

No prior planting experience is needed. GBF staff and experienced Team Captains show you the ropes at each planting.
