Beach
Grass Planting Saturday March 21, 2020
The Beach Management Committee, in
coordination with the Town of Hull Conservation Department and Department of
Public Works, will be holding the annual Town of Hull Beach Grass Planting
Event on Saturday, March 21st at 9am with a rain date of Sunday,
March 22nd. We will be planting beach grass from Phipps St.
north. If Beach Grass Planting needs to be postponed to March 22nd
we will notify you on the Beach Management Committee Facebook page,
https://www.facebook.com/HullBeachCommittee/ .
Preregistered participants will be notified by email.
The Beach Management Committee has
made Beach Grass planting an annual effort to maintain the dune so it can
continue to absorb the brunt of winter storms. The dune is critical to
the protection of the Town from flooding and storm damage.
We need your help! This year we are doing things
a little differently. We need both planters and planting leaders
on the beach. Planting leaders will be stationed at areas of the beach
(for example- from Coburn St. to A ST) and will have tools and grass on the
beach ready for you when you arrive at 9am. They will teach new planters,
be responsible for securing more grass, if needed, and collecting tools at the
end of planting. Planting Leaders should have at least 3 years of
planting experience.
We would like you to preregister by
sending an email to beachgrassplanting@gmail.com. Please give us your full name and
email address and let us know if you would like to be a planting leader or a
planter. If you have friends who want to plant with you please let
us know who they are. Also, if you have a favorite place to plant on the beach,
please let us know where and we will do our best to assign you there. Preregistering
will eliminate the need for you to check in at A St. We will have a
table set up at A St. but only for those who do not register in advance. A
St registrants will be sent to where we need the most help.
