Dune Seeds (aka xmas trees)
I am hoping that this is approved to this post.
There is a group of people that right after the first of the year "Plant" Christmas trees on the beach to create sand dunes. This has been proven to be a helpful thing to prevent erosion of the beach. When I say plant, it is laying them down and staking them in the sand.
Since Ike had a say-so as to the state of the coastline, the beach will be in great need of new dunes. This will take place on 1-10-09 at Sams Beach. Many of you may know of Sams Beach. Surfside between access road 5&6.
This is a plea for everyone who can that day, help. Trailers are very much needed to haul the trees down, as well as people to pound stakes and tie trees to them. Sturdy shoes, long pants and gloves are recommended. Also a heavy hammer helps.
If you can get trees from your neighbors, great! If you can supply a trailer and truck to pull it, Houston Garden Center donates leftovers to this cause. If you can come on down to "plant" that is always needed. Not an easy job, but also not hard.
Here is a link to the site that does this
http://www.coastalfishing.org/phpbb/...pic.php?t=1914
You can post there, join if not a member (free) or post here and I will relay, or PM me and I will relay. A count is needed as to how many trees to get from the Garden Center.
Thanks in advance to all that will help out.
