Come out this weekend and help Boy Scout Troop 562 plant over 1,500 trees across 13 acres. Yes, that’s right… 1,500 trees!

The Longleaf Restoration Project at Grayton Beach State Park is being coordinated by Eagle Scout candidate Clayton Didier, a 13-year-old looking for volunteers to achieve this wonderful conservation initiative to plant 1,500+ longleaf pines over 13 acres off CR 283 (across from Sherwin Williams Grayton Beach). BSA Troop 562 is the local Boy Scout Troop in Santa Rosa Beach (BSA Gulf Coast Council).

This Community event will take place this Saturday, October 31, and Sunday November 1, from 9 am – 4 pm.

Volunteers of all ages needed to help these Scouts make a positive and lasting difference. Bring gloves, shovels, clippers, trimmers, hats, masks, bug spray and anything else you think can be helpful to Clayton and his fellow Scouts and volunteers in making this dream a reality.

If you have any questions about that we can answer feel free to email, call or text Capt. Joe Didier at 727-224-6653.
