WHAT: Come help us restore the dunes at Easton's Beach in Newport! We will be restoring dune habitat by planting American beach grass (Ammophila brevigulata).

PREPARE FOR THE PLANTING:
- Always dress for the weather! It is often colder and windier at the beach.
- Bring your own water - we recommend a reusable bottle!
- Optional: You may want to bring your own trowel, work gloves or knee pads if you have them. Save The Bay will provide trowels, and gloves if needed.
