Wild Oyster Project is all about working together as a community of oyster lovers to restore wild oysters to the San Francisco Bay.

We need your help! We are currently recruiting for volunteer Shell Runners and Education Ambassadors

To volunteer, please fill out the form below and also subscribe to our volunteer calendar below to learn more about future events and volunteer opportunities.

Current volunteer needs:

• Volunteers (Shell Runners) willing to collect oyster shells for recycling! These individuals will collect buckets from restaurants and drop them off at one of our shell curing sites at Bay Natives Nursery in SF or REAP Climate Center in Alameda depending on the restaurant’s location. Currently we are only recruiting for the SF location.

• Volunteers (Education Ambassadors) that are able to educate the public and represent us through tabling events, meetings, socials etc. in both the East Bay & SF.

• Individual volunteers and groups to be community scientists – helping measure and monitor oysters.

• Volunteers that can lend land for curing and storing recycled oyster shell. This is extremely helpful in the Bay Area because our shells need to cure in the sun for two years before being used in restoration work.

  We’re a small organization so feel free to offer up any skills you think could be of use to us! This could be grant writing, fundraising, legal experience, graphic design, etc

We are also able to host corporate events if interested. Please reach out for more information.
