BEACH GRASS PLANTING 08, 09

On April 26th,
a Group of Volunteers
gathered on Cottage Walk, Gilgo Beach.

The Goal was
to Strengthen
the Ocean Dunes

The plan was to Plant Atlantic Beach Grass

There has been a lot of Activity
in this Area of the Beach Recently.

STB provided the Beach Grass in bundles of 100 stalks or plant.
Planting is easy; just pook a hole in the sand about 4 inches, place the stalk and repack the sand.

The group planted 3,000 stalks of grass in and along the dunes at the east end of Gilgo Beach.


Please do not Walk in the Dunes, Stay on the Paths.
