About SAV Planting (or Underwater Grasses Planting)

For the last two years, founding member Debbie Green has coordinated a project to restore underwater grasses to the Creek. With the aid of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, volunteers are equipped with a kit to grow underwater grasses from seed. After two months of "gardening," volunteers bring their grasses to the Creek for planting. In each of the last two years, 25 kits of wild celery found new homes in Powhatan Creek.
