Join us for the Annual DNREC Beach Grass Planting on Saturday, March 21st at 9am at Broadkill Beach.
This will be a moderate to strenuous activity; volunteers will be asked to dig about 10-12” holes in the sand and plant grass along the shore of Broadkill beach.
Sand dunes are more than beautiful. Sand dunes provide protection against damaging coastal storms by absorbing wave energy. Sand dunes offer protection by acting as major sand storage areas which replenish sand to eroded beaches during storm events. Without sand dunes, storm waves rush inland and flood properties.
Dunes are unstable — subject to the ravages of wind and water. Beach grass helps build and stabilize dunes. Blades of grass help trap wind-blown sand which can create new dunes and expand existing dunes.
