About the Event

Join us in harvesting and transplanting native dune vegetation to restore fragile habitat in Hampton, NH! Dunes are an important asset to our coastline. They provide habitat for wildlife, protect our communities from flooding, sea level rise, and coastal erosion to name a few.

At this event, we'll learn best practices for planting dune vegetation, and then will plant the beachgrass harvested two days prior from the Common Garden (Oct 8th - sign up separately) into the dunes in Hampton. This area was recently treated for invasive bittersweet; we will be planting in the newly cleared area. Come learn about dunes, get sandy, and have fun!

What to bring

Snacks, water, and all planting tools and materials will be provided. Please dress for the weather as it can vary greatly this time of year.
