The Toms River Department of Recreation is looking for volunteers to help plant dune grass in Ortley Beach this Saturday, November 5th.

The planting runs from 9am til noon, rain or shine. Volunteers are asked to meet at the Ortley Beach lifeguard headquarters at 4th Avenue at the ocean. No sign-up is required.

The Department of Recreation reminds volunteers to dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. A shovel handle, surf fishing spike, or other implement capable of creating a hole in the sand is a useful tool for volunteers to bring.

Last year volunteers planted 48,000 dune grass plants.
