Last week our Year 23 Thursday Group Service Crew

Last week our Year 23 Thursday Group Service Crew (aka COD Day) participated in their first project! The 11 COD Day members helped the Barnstable Natural Resources Department rake out quahog grow plots, relocate larger-sized quahogs, seed the freshly raked areas (275,000 quahogs planted!!), and staple protective netting over the plots at Sandy Point in Osterville. After seeding, members assisted in making new nets and staples for the rest of the Department's shellfish season. 🐚💪🦪Stay tuned for more action as our Year 23 Group Service Projects (on Mondays, Thursdays & Fridays) get underway for the year!
