Town Employees, Alice and Mark assist in the planting efforts at WROA. The sea oat seedlings are barely visible along the fence at the crest of the dune.

Sea oats experience nearly one year's growth in this May 27, 2003 photo. Note: Fencing at the crest of the dune is legal at this public access. Fencing rules and regulation are different for the homeowner.
