SUMMARY:Oyster Gardening on the Gulf Coast- First Friday
DESCRIPTION:Oysters Are vital to a healthy coastal ecosystem\nSince 2000\, Oyster Gardening programs have been thriving along the northern Gulf of Mexico. These programs engage volunteers in a hands-on\, restoration-focused educational experience. Through their collective efforts\, participants have successfully cultivated over 1.6 million advanced stocker oysters\, boasting a remarkable restoration potential of more than 80 acres. This impressive achievement underscores the program’s effectiveness in promoting coastal conservation. \nIn this comprehensive overview\, PJ Waters\, PhD\, Associate Extension Professor from Auburn University Marine Extension and Resource Center\, Alabama Cooperative Extension Service Agent\, will delve into the program’s origins\, exploring the visionary ideas that sparked its creation. He will examine the operational model\, highlighting the collaborative efforts between volunteers\, scientists\, and conservationists. Additionally\, he will chart the program’s growth over time\, showcasing its evolution and expansion. \nProfessor Waters will also explore the fascinating parallels between oyster gardening and oyster farming\, shedding light on the distinct approaches and goals of each practice. Furthermore\, he will uncover the incredible world of oysters. You will learn about their remarkable biology\, their crucial role in maintaining healthy ecosystems\, and the ecosystem services they provide\, including water filtration\, shoreline stabilization\, and habitat creation. \nBy the end of this journey\, you will gain a deeper understanding of the significance of oyster conservation. And you will appreciate the vital role that Oyster Gardening programs play in protecting and restoring coastal ecosystems. \nThis and every First Friday Presentation at Mobile Botanical Gardens is free for MBG members or with admission for not-yet members. But registration is required. Email shabel@mbgardens.org to register your seat. \nDon’t forget your lunch!\nAfter the program\, we invite you to enjoy a delicious lunch from Georgia Roussous Catering!

SUMMARY:All About the Longleaf Forest
DESCRIPTION:First Friday Returns: MBG’s Longleaf Forest\nJoin us for the kick off of the return of our First Friday series! Captain of our Longleaf Management Committee\, Andrew Saunders\, will be here to deliver a spirited Powerpoint presentation about MBG’s largest collection\, the Longleaf Treasure Forest\, including its natural history and its restoration promise. He will also share information about a planned growing-season burn happening here soon. \nThe Longleaf Forest once extended along the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains from Virginia through East Texas over greater than 90 million acres and was the dominant ecosystem in the Southeast. By the mid-20th century\, it covered less than 3 million acres. Today\, with numerous restoration efforts underway\, Longleaf covers over 5 million acres. \nThe Longleaf Forest is an ecological restoration success story! And MBG is proud to be a part of restoring this living ecosystem\, one of the most diverse on Earth. So why would we burn this treasured forest\, you ask? Join us for August’s First Friday Presentation to find out exactly why prescribed fire is for the good of the Longleaf Forest! \nWhen: Friday\, August 2\, 2024 10:00am\nWhere: Mobile Botanical Gardens\nCost: Free for MBG members or with admission\, though registration is required. Email shabel@mbgardens.org or call 251-342-0555 to register. \nAfter this engaging First Friday Presentation\, enjoy a delicious lunch ($15.00)\, catered by Georgia Roussous. On the menu this week is baked penne\, steamed broccoli\, a side caesar salad\, roll and butter\, sweet or unsweet tea and a chocolate trifle for dessert. Lunches are available via pre-order only.
