Delaware Center for the Inland Bays Tree Planting

Delaware Center for the Inland Bays

Have you been looking for a unique place to volunteer or gain community service hours for school? Well, you are in luck! Delaware Center for the Inland Bays is hosting a Tree Planting in partnership with DNREC Fish & Wildlife. Join in on Friday, March 29th, and Saturday, March 30th from 10am-noon or 1pm-3pm to help preserve, protect and restore the Delaware Inland Bays.

The Delaware Center for the Inland Bays became a nonprofit organization in 1994 under the Inland Bays Watershed Enhancement Act. It has flourished for more than 20 years. Public participation and observation continue to play a tremendous role in preserving the watershed. Additionally, by participating in public outreach and education, the Delaware Center is able to develop and implement restoration projects, partake in scientific research, and continue to protect and preserve all inland bays.

The Delaware Center protects shellfish, fish, and wildlife through various recreational activities in and on the water. Not to mention, the most rewarding part of this operation is to control pollution in these waterways so that our wildlife can thrive in their natural habitat.
