Pearl Homes
Our daily habits and decisions make a difference. Whether you have installed a rain garden or rain barrel, made a pledge to “scoop the poop” or switched to a reusable water bottle and reusable grocery bags, you are helping to bring our waterways back to life, and we would like to recognize your efforts.
Virginia Beach residents can become an official Lynnhaven River NOW Pearl Home.
Creation Care — Eco Living Tips
* Reduce what you buy. Reuse when possible. Recycle the rest.
* Remember to take reusable shopping bags to the grocery store or mall
* Try reusable produce bags (or go bagless)
* Buy bulk foods and fill reusable snack bags instead of ziplock baggies
* Choose cloth napkins over disposable paper
Oyster Gardening
Volunteer to steward your own batch of baby oysters. Cages are shaken once weekly to prevent oysters from growing into the cage. Divided once in November...and monitored for crabs and sea squirts... the oysters are returned to Lynnhaven River Now sometime in June to be added to oyster reef replenishment sanctuaries to assist with the filtering of our shared watershed.
