Beach Grass Planting
Cub Scout Pack 351 of Townsend, Delaware, helped plant Cape American beach grass helps to stabilize Delaware's sand dunes. Sand dunes provide protection against damaging coastal storms by absorbing wave energy. Sand dunes offer protection by acting as major sand storage areas which replenish sand to eroded beaches during storm events. Without sand dunes, storm waves rush inland and flood properties.
This is an important service project that helps to conserve Delaware's beaches.
