Help Plant Dune Grass This Saturday at Island Beach State Park

This Saturday 4/26, be part of hundreds of volunteers helping to plant Dune Grass in Island Beach State Park.

Take part between 10a-1p in planting over 40,000 American Beachgrass plants to help solidify the sand dunes. Participants will meet at Ocean Bathing Area 1, which is the most popular and visible area at the park in Ocean County.

Jen Clayton, park manager at Island Beach State Park says “Dune grasses are vital to protecting the island because they hold the dunes together with their web-like root systems.”

If you would like to volunteer, email Lindsey Sigmund at ambassadorwma13@gmail.com
