Dune Planting, Volunteers Needed!

           "Long Beach will host a dune grass planting event tomorrow and Sunday (November 22nd, &23rd) to improve flood control and to prevent beach erosion.
           Residents are being asked to volunteer to plant grass along the beach during the morning of Saturday on the West End and Sunday on the East End.
           Volunteers should bring work gloves and dress appropriately to plant on the beach.  They will be working with city crews.
           Planting is scheduled from 8 a.m. to noon on both days.  The West End meeting spot is at the end of Virginia Avenue.
          The East End meeting point is at the end of Roosevelt Boulevard.
          Volunteers can sign at info@longbeachny.gov."

Side note, I'll be driving up to Boston this weekend, and I wish everyone a fun and safe weekend preserving out Dunes? Sorry I'm missing the 'Dune Dig'!
