Wilson Bay Watchdogs
An after-school program during the school year where students work with scientists restoring habitat in the New River.

The Wilson Bay Watchdogs program links science with volunteerism and uses the structure of an already established volunteer program. That program, within the Wilson Bay Water Quality Initiative Program, helps the Wilson Bay Restoration Staff plant oysters, maintain the water quality efforts and record and study their work. Students meet once a week for six weeks after a day-long training session and can select from one of three study tracks based on the time of year.
