WANTED: DUNE GRASS PLANTERS
How would YOU like to fill your lungs with rejuvenating Maine salt
air this spring? Perhaps get a jumpstart on your Ferry Beach season?
Thanks to the ongoing successful 2nd Century Fund Capital Campaign, we
are ready to turn the (newly elevated) brown dunes into a lovely soft
grassy green. To do this, we need a few teams of hardy dune grass
planters. There is a small window of opportunity to plant dune grass, so
if you can come to Ferry Beach on the weekend of March 28 (Coordinators'
Weekend), April 4th or April 11th (the day before Easter), please let us
know.
If you wish to join the Dune Grass Planter Team, you must register
your interest in advance by contacting Hilary Green (fbregs@maine.rr.com
or 207-282-4489). It is impossible for us to predict how quickly the
planting will go or how many people will join us, so the office will let
you know as soon as possible if your help is needed during the 3rd
weekend. There is no charge to you as a volunteer.
When you register, please provide the following information:
- Your name and contact information (e-mail and phone number, if
possible).
- What date(s) you are available.
- When you would be able to arrive and leave.
- If you plan to stay overnight Friday or Saturday.
Incidentally, we offer outstanding benefits, such as:
- Great outdoor exercise.
- Hanging out with a team of other beloved members of the FB
community.
- Plentiful delicious food and overnight lodging if`desired.
