- Oyster Return Day was in June
If you still have your oysters, you can return them in the fall when we distribute new spat.
You will need to clean your cages regularly (every few weeeks) or the algae will grow so thick
that it will block the water flow and make the cages very heavy.
- This spring (2010) we received over 25,000 oysters from our gardeners at the community pier in Galesville. In the seven years of our program,
oyster garders have provided over 100,000 oysters to be planted in the West River.
- If you missed us and have oysters to return,
please contact
for special arrangements. We want your oysters!
- Fall Spat Pickup
- Watch this site for the date of the spat
pickup in Galesville (probably in late September).
You can also pick up spat at any of the CBF events. Here is the schedule.
- Not yet an oyster gardener?
- Workshops are held in the fall (due to the availability of spat).
Here is information on how to become a gardener.
To sign up to become an oyster gardener in the 2010 season, contact Stephanie Reynolds at CBF
