Hello! Even though it is only January, we are planning the 26th Annual Beach Grass Planting. Our efforts this year will be focused on bare areas in the dunes along the Atlantic Ocean coast and one area on the Delaware Bay coast. Each March since 1990, many dedicated volunteers have helped to build and protect Delaware’s sand dunes by planting Cape American beach grass on Delaware’s ocean and Delaware Bay beaches. Their efforts have been very successful in helping to re-establish the vegetation along our coastline. Our plan is to plant beach grass in various bare areas, to help stabilize existing dunes so that they may continue to grow. The 2015 Beach Grass Planting will be from 9 AM to 12 noon on Saturday, March 21, 2015. If you and your family and friends are able to volunteer, please register online at: dnrec.delaware.gov/swc/Shoreline/Pages/BeachGrassPlanting.aspx Please note, that we will be planting in several areas and some require more volunteers than others. Therefore, we would greatly appreciate if you made at least 3 choices in order of preference. We will do our best to assign you to your first choice, but this is not guaranteed. If you do not wish to register on-line or have any questions about the planting, please give me a call at (302) 739-9921 or send me e-mail at [email protected].
