Thousands of Christmas
trees are staked down
to trap wind-blown sand.
The result: dunes that
prevent miles of erosion.
ONE SATURDAY MORN-
ing last January the scene at
Jacksonville's Huguenot State
Park was absolute bedlam.
On a sandy, fog-covered spit jutting into
the Atlantic Ocean, hundreds of Boy
Scouts and Cub Scouts diligently lashed
together and staked down discarded
Christmas trees in an ambitious Save Our
American Resources project of the North
Florida Council.
Four-wheel-drive vehicles feverishly
ferried Christmas trees from moun-
tainous piles to work sites near the sand
dunes of Fort George Island. Campfire
youth, 4H-ers, school groups, Girl
Scouts, and other youth groups labored
next to Boy Scout troops and Cub Scout
packs. t •'.* '.rf>
