🌱 Mangrove Planting at Bahia Honda State Park!
Ready to get your hands dirty for a great cause? Join the community at Bahia Honda State Park for a hands-on day of coastal restoration. We’re coming together to plant mangroves, which serve as the "nursery of the sea" and provide critical protection for our shorelines.
