If youve always wanted to become an oyster farmer, heres your chance. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation is
looking for volunteers to grow baby oysters in floating oyster gardens attached to piers, docks and marina
slips, according to a CBF news release. The nonprofit is hoping this volunteer effort will help restore the
Chesapeake Bays oyster population, which has drastically declined over the past several decades.
CBF is holding a workshop for volunteers on Thursday, Sept. 18, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Norfolk Academy at 1585 Wesleyan Drive,
Norfolk. Volunteers will get 1,000 native seed oysters and be shown how to maintain their oyster garden throughout the coming year,
the release said. Participants are asked to give a $30 donation to cover the cost of oyster seed and other materials. To register, log onto
www.cbf.org/virginiaoysters, send an email to cbfoystergardening@cbf.org or call 622-1964.
