The Pearls of Oyster Activity Book was supported through the Chesapeake Oyster Innovation Program with funding provided by the Chesapeake Oyster Alliance and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. Additional project support was provided through the Virginia Tourism Corporation Marketing Leverage Program. The project’s goal is to inspire stewardship through interactive learning and digital outreach. The effort aims to educate both children and adults about the importance of oysters in Virginia’s ecosystem, economy, and cultural heritage.

The Virginia Oyster Trail has just begun distribution and activity books are being distributed to partners in Coastal Virginia. If you’re interested in obtaining the activity book or want to partner on an educational project using the booklet, please complete this form and VOT will get back to you in April.
