Save the Great South Bay is a volunteer-driven organization. We work with hundreds of volunteers each year and can’t do what we do with people like YOU! There are many ways to help – join a Creek Defender clean up in your neighborhood, raise baby oysters over the summer or, if you’re handy with a camera, help us capture our volunteers in action! Community service is available at all events.
