The goal of Marsh Mania is to involve local citizens in hands-on marsh restoration activities while increasing their awareness and appreciation of wetland habitats and functions. In eleven years, Marsh Mania has involved more than 5,450 community volunteers in the restoration of roughly 132 acres of vital salt marsh habitat at 54 sites around Galveston Bay.

This year, Marsh Mania will be held on May 1st and June 5th. There are multiple locations around the Bay where volunteers will work to restore marshes. If you would like more information about this year’s event or to register (registration required), please visit http://www.galvbay.org.
