Description: A grant was awarded to a South Point community
to undertake a native plant restoration project for 6,000 acres in their community.
The first plantings were done on common property, the next phase included
plantings at homes and farms to replace turf grass. The volunteers did all
the work with assistance from the Maryland Coastal Bays Program and the US
Fish and Wildlife Service.

5 demonstration projects have been completed, covering an area of 2 acres.
This project is highly recommended.
