HERE’S THE GRASS
STEPHEN DECATAUR Middle School students planted the grass from the National aquarium at the Isle of Wight Park today. This would have been the grass on the shoreline of our pond. If you’re truly interested in seeing what Spartina grass looks like go visit this site and watch it grow. If you have never been to this park take Rt.#90 bridge out of Ocean City, then take the left onto the park at the traffic light. (First light as you get to the bridge). This is really worth the trip, beautiful, just beautiful. They are actually growing oysters there. The one photo showing two men standing on rocks marks where the oyster beds are located. (Jay Charland, Coastkeepers and Dr. Roman Jesien, Maryland Coastal Bays )We really live in a spectacular spot on this planet earth.
We asked the science teacher, Doug Romano, if his class would plant our grass for us next year. His answer was YES!
Many thanks to Tammy Roberson, National Aquarium (third picture) for coordinating this grass planting.
I met a fantastic group of people today!
