The Marsh Appreciation and
Restoration Society for Happiness Project
The M.A.R.S.H. Project is a grassroots and community-based program working to create the first urban ecological corridor in the Southeast. We advocate for the marsh, and for reclaiming Charleston’s natural heritage through volunteerism – cleaning up debris, planting native plant species, citizen-science monitoring, and community and educational outreach.
“Maybe the most destructive force to the climate is not fossil fuels or deforestation or corporate greed, but futility. As human impact on the planet has worsened, so has the collective outlook. Many of us live with a deep resignation about the state of the world, a sense that it’s too late to do anything—so we do nothing. Now, if anyone gets a brief pass on trying to save the planet, it’s brand-new parents navigating life in the midst of a global pandemic. But for three Charleston neighbors who had all just welcomed their first child, the moment had the opposite effect.”
What began as a personal project among three friends, has turned into a community movement!
