Dune grass planting

Please plan on attending the dune grass planting this Saturday (April 5th) at Fenwick Island State Park. This is a great community service opportunity to "help other people". We will meet at 9:00 (or earlier) at the Fenwick Towers Oceanfront Apartments parking lot. This is the white multi-story building by the surf fishing dune crossing. You can't miss it.

You don't need to bring anything special, the Department of Natural Resources will provide the stakes to make the hole for the grass, the grass, and maybe even donuts! There's not much to it, poke a hole in the sand, drop in a grass plant, pat the sand around it, repeat. We usually spend an hour or two, but feel free to stay the entire three hours.

Aircraft carrier passing by

The USS John F. Kennedy will be towed past our shores on it's way to Philadelphia sometime on Friday. This could be a cool site to see from Lewes or if you happen to have a boat!

Here's the article from the News Journal.
