Bena resident Walter I. Priest III of Bema will speak on wetlands design and restoration in the Guinea Heritage Association’s next Fourth Friday program.
The program will be held at 6 p.m. on Friday at the Buck’s Store Museum, Bena.
Priest will discuss the concepts behind living shorelines. NOAA defines living shorelines as “those that use plants or other natural elements—sometimes in combination with harder shoreline structures”—to stabilize coastal properties, bays, and tributaries.
By showing examples of living shorelines constructed in Gloucester, Priest will demonstrate the application of living shoreline principles.
This and other Fourth Friday programs are free and open to the public. Light refreshments and time to ask questions and visit are included in the one-hour program.
