Great Dune Restoration 2009 - December 5th!

Surfrider Foundation South Florida Chapter is hosting the next awesome edition of our Dune Restoration 2009 and we need your help!

It's winter time here in South Florida and we are ready to remove some invasive Scaevola plants from the Coastal Dunes between 83rd Street and 87th Street East off Collins Avenue.

This activity will prepare the beach area for the planting of native species later this year.

We need everyone out in force to get the job done quickly.

So get pumped, call your friends, pile the wife and kids in the car and let's go have some fun in the dunes!

Spend a couple hours on a beautiful morning showing some love to the beach, and get a lifetime of good vibes for your effort!

Details:

Plant removal will be on the beach between 83rd Street and 87th Street East of Collins Avenue.

Parking is on the street and entrance for the event is at 85th Street and Collins Avenue.
