| An example of recycled art |
On Saturday September 21 the Port Royal Sound Foundation
(PRSF) asks for volunteers for their annual Adopt-A-Highway Litter Pick Up.
Meet at the PRSF Maritime Center at 310 Okatie Highway at 7:30 a.m. for the
light-duty work of keeping a section of highway, that is in close proximity to
the spartina marsh, free of debris that could otherwise wash into the sound.
The clean up is over at 11 a.m. and then the educational programs inside the
nature center are available to view such as marine communities under the
microscope, and the popular creature feedings.
On Saturday
September 28, marine enthusiasts will have a tough choice to make when the
eco-boat tour and the nature journaling class begin at the same time. Meet at
the PRSF Maritime Center at 11 a.m. and be dressed for the outdoors, since each
event is outside. The two-hour boat ride with Captain Amber Kuehn of Spartina
Marine Education Charters will cruise the Chechessee River in search of
wildlife viewing. The boat ride cost is $45 and space must be reserved by
calling 843-645-7774. The Nature Journaling Class is free and lasts for an
hour, and is a great way to start a hobby that increases ones time enjoying the
Lowcountry.
The
Recycled Art Contest is open between now and November 8, and is supposed to
bring awareness to Beaufort County’s plastic bag ban. This is the second year
for the recycled art contest and the theme for 2019 is animals, beaches and fun
in the sun. Entries must be created from 80-percent recyclables or trash
material. A whopping $3500 in prize money will be awarded in several
categories. The contest is looking for imaginative entries and is open to
clubs, schools, businesses and recycling enthusiasts. The winners are announced
on November 14.
