SUMMARY:POSH Module Build - Living Shoreline for Riverview Park
DESCRIPTION:POSH Module Build – Living Shoreline for Riverview Park | Saturday\, May 9\nHelp us build Pervious Oyster Shell Habitat (POSH) Modules – 30-pound balls of recycled oyster shells and cement that form the foundation of a natural oyster reef along the Trout River. \nA single adult oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water per day\, and as a reef grows\, it creates habitat for hundreds of aquatic species while acting as a natural buffer against coastal erosion and storm surges. \nOver 85% of natural oyster reefs have been lost worldwide. Every module we build helps turn that tide. \nIn August 2025\, volunteers installed 40 POSH Modules at Riverview Park\, creating approximately 140 feet of oyster reef. Now we’re growing it further. \nNo experience needed — just a willingness to get a little messy and a lot of heart for the river. \nVolunteer Shift 1: 8-11 a.m. at 2000 Ponte Vedra Blvd (parking lot by Guana Reserve Middle Beach)\nMorning shift volunteers will load 13.5 trash cans of recycled oyster shells and bring them to the GTM Research Reserve Welcome Center (505 Guana River Rd\, Ponte Vedra Beach\, FL 32082). It will likely take 2-3 trips. Loading the shells wont take up the entire shift\, so once complete volunteers will be able to start on the POSH Module molds. \nVolunteer Shift 2: 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at GTM Research Reserve Welcome Center\nAfternoon shift volunteers will come straight to the GTM Research Reserve Welcome Center (505 Guana River Rd) to relieve the morning shift volunteers. You’ll get straight to work on creating the POSH Modules. The process involves mixing oyster shells\, cement\, and water into a cement mixer where shells will get an even coat of cement. They will then be poured into hexagonal molds. \nRegister here to participate in either shift. \nThe POSH Modules will be stored for about a month to cure. Then they will be removed from the molds and deployed into the river to help create oyster habitat! \nNature-based Solutions: Improving Water Quality One Oyster at a Time

SUMMARY:Paddle the Ocklawaha
DESCRIPTION:Paddle the Ocklawaha with Adventure Outpost | Friday\, May 29 or Saturday\, June 13 | 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. | Ocklawaha River (Palatka)\nJoin us for a 3.5 hour paddling tour of the Ocklawaha River with expert guide Lars Andersen! We will begin just downstream from the Kirkpatrick (formerly Rodman) Dam. This section of the Ocklawaha below the dam is wide and braided. There are numerous side streams and winding forks that make this an interesting area to explore. \nThe wide\, open channel of the Ocklawaha River offers an excellent panorama of river forests and swamps that\, in places\, stretch a half-mile back from the main channel\, and are a refuge for a wonderful menagerie of wildlife with very little sign of civilization. As history buffs dream of Acuera warriors and the steamboats which once plied these waters\, birders and animal lovers will be busy with their binoculars and cameras. In addition to its scenic beauty\, this stretch of the Ocklawaha also serves as an excellent “living museum” of man’s 15\,000 year relationship with nature in Florida. \nA couple of hours into our downstream paddle\, we will stop for lunch at the site of the former river settlement/steamboat landing of Davenport. Also on this site is Davenport Mound\, an ancient Indian burial site first excavated in the 1800’s. \nPrice\nTour & Kayak Rental: $65 \nBring Your Own Kayak/Board: $50 \nRegister\nTo register to join us\, please call Adventure Outpost at (386) 497-4214. Mention the date (May 29\, or June 13) and St. Johns Riverkeeper and have your payment information ready to secure your reservation.
