To follow tropical storms and hurricanes, visit the Web: â Grass Class Teaches Wetland Restoration Almost 50 students from Wrightsville Beach Elementary helped plant more than 2,000 marsh grass seedlings at the North Carolina Coastal Federation's (NCCF) Morris Landing site as part of the Student Wetland Nursery. The NCCF program teaches elementary and middle school students about the importance of a healthy coastal environment. This is the third year that Wrightsville Beach Elementary has participated. Students have helped plant a total of more than 4,000 seedlings of Spartinaalterniflora, commonly known as smooth cordgrass. Each year, more than 200 students from approximately seven schools are involved with the program. Nine North Carolina schools participated in the 2005- 2006 Wetland Nursery Program. In the past three years, the combined effort of participating schools resulted in a total of three acres of marshland, using more than 24,000 marsh plants. Students plant at various sites, including Morris Landing, a 52-acre site that has a 575-foot sill or protective rock structure. The sill was installed on the degraded shoreline of Stump Sound near Holly Ridge. The site is used by NCCF for public education and recreation. It was acquired through a grant from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund.
