Oyster Return Day: June 14
On June 14, 2008 we received over 16,000 oysters from our gardeners at the community pier in Galesville.
If you missed us and have oysters to return, please contact for special arrangements. We want your oysters!
Not yet an oyster gardener?
Workshops start in September and run through October (due to the availability of spat). Here is the 2009 workshop schedule and information on how to become a gardener. To sign up to become an oyster gardener in the 2009 season, contact Stephanie Reynolds at CBF at sreynolds@cbf.org

OThe West River Improvment Association, (WRIA), is dedicated to the principle that, by working together, residents of Galesville and the surrounding area can protect and improve the quality of life in the community, including the West River watershed

OThe Shady Side Peninsula Association, is the association of citizens' groups and communities on the Shady Side Peninsula

Citizens in the West River community are establishing individual oyster gardens with guidance from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to provide new one-year old oysters to the santuaries in the coming years.
