Press release from the Friends of the Dunes:
Join the Friends of the Dunes, Dune Ecosystem Restoration Team (DERT) and contribute to our 41-year restoration legacy. Add gloves, shovels, and brush axes to human hands and you have the strongest dune restoration tool around. You can make a difference in the ecosystem, one invasive plant removal at a time! Within months of initially removing invasive plants, DERT volunteers witness native plants re-sprouting on their own. No experience is necessary and snacks will be provided.
DERT meets twice a month:
- Second Saturday of each month from 10 am to 1 pm – Please meet at the Humboldt Coastal Nature Center, 220 Stamps Lane in Manila.
- Third Sunday of each month from 10 am to 1 pm – Please meet at the Ma-le’l Dunes North parking lot. From the parking lot we will be walking to the northern end of the Bureau of Land Management’s Ma-le’l Dunes South property for restoration.
No need to reserve a spot, meet us at the specified locations a few minutes before 10 am. Camaraderie, tools, snacks, and beautiful scenery are provided.
