Event: Beach Grass Planting Dates: 03/24/2018 Time: 9:00 am - 11:00 am Location: A Street Beach Volunteers are needed for our annual beach grass planting day. We will be planting 18,000
plants. Grass, tools, and instruction will be provided. Please RSVP to Paul Epstein so we know who is coming.
Why plant beach grass?
Beach
grass traps the sand, which helps to maintain and strengthen a healthy dune
system. Dunes are designed to be sacrificial, so that they may be destroyed
during coastal storms instead of our homes. Most of the time grass planting is
done to restore areas of the dune that have been washed away during storm
events.
