St. George Island Civic Club (SGICC) volunteers are planting 3 types of native dune vegetation, St. George Island sea oats, panic grass and sea purslane, in between the sand fence they erected earlier.
A volunteer plants one of the "baby" dune grasses. The dark stuff in the milk jug is a combination of an organic fertilizer and saturated water absorbing granules to help the little plants get off to a good start.
A SGICC volunteer with many plant "plugs" laid out and ready for planting between the sand fence sections.
Dune plants after planting, sand fence as placed by volunteers, and in the background is a dune walkover built by SGICC volunteers.
Many volunteers gathered to help plant the dune vegetation after erecting the sand fence. That's a lot of fence and a lot of volunteers!
Barbara Reed, a STAR board member and a SGICC volunteer, has her work cut out for her with many plant plugs laid out ready for planting and a flat of sea purslane to go!
Barbara Reed shows off a healthy sea purslane plant plug ready for planting. These great looking plants were purchased from Aquatic Plants of Florida.
A restoration project section completed, sand fence in, plants planted, barrier up to protect the area so the dune can "grow", and a completed dune walkover in the background. What a great project, helping Mother Nature restore a healthy beach that will benefit wildlife and people alike! A great job by a group of fantastic volunteers!
