Delaware Seeks Volunteers for Beach Grass Planting

 

      DOVER, Del. (AP) - Delaware is looking for volunteers to help plant dune grasses.

     The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control says beach grass will be planted Saturday on public beaches along the Atlantic Ocean and the Delaware Bay. The planting will begin at 9 a.m. and continue until noon at various locations. Those interested in volunteering can find locations on the department's website.

     This year is the 23rd for the volunteer planting. Last year more than 800 volunteers planted more than 150,000 plants along four miles of beach.
