A successful planting day - all the plants we brought were planted.

One of the less glamorous* jobs we do to help restore saltmarsh is wash the minimal plastic polypots we use to grow the cuttings on.
There were plenty to wash after planting nearly 4000 plants earlier in the year.
After washing we can reuse them for the next set of cuttings.
*yes, planting saltmarsh in the mud is glamorous- for a certain value of glamor

Thank you for joining in the poll, hope you enjoyed it.
As promised, here's the answer.
The social media platform Green Shores has the most followers on is LinkedIn!
There were a few new follows on Mastodon over the course of the poll but LinkedIn is still ahead.
We are a saltmarsh restoration project, on which social media do you think we have the most followers?
Tide coming in and tide out at one of our saltmarsh restoration sites on the Eden.
The Saltmarsh plants are adapted to this twice daily tidal influx.
The recent planting are establishing and still hard to see against the sand behind the fences, they are fully submerged as the tide comes in.
