Save Their Beaches (from page 38)
Sound far fetched? Yes, it does. People
who live on the ocean know that beach
restoration costs big bucks.
Beaches erode for a number of reasons.
Wind and water are the usual culprits.
Tides daily add to and subtract sand from
beaches. The most dreaded, spectacular,
and speedy eroders are major hurricanes
which carry raging winds and vicious
high tides that engulf coastal communi-
ties.
The saddest continuing inroads are by
individuals who seriously damage dune
structures by walking or driving over
them to get to the beaches. And year after
year in north Florida, invasive winter
storms—the nor'easters—continue to
wreak havoc on the dunes.
Most beach communities cannot afford
to replenish their beaches. Pumping or
trucking sand to restore beaches are fi-
nancial quagmires that governmental
units try to avoid. Renourishment costs
are staggering, perhaps millions for a
couple of miles. And no one really knows
when brutal winds and tides will strip a
replenished beach bare.
So what made the young people at Hu-
guenot Park think they could outsmart
Mother Nature?
"The Dunes Day program has edu-
cated our youth," explains Pat Shea, the
Scouter who since 1984 has coordinated
Dunes Day, the popular name of the coun-
cil's SOAR program. "They know they
can make a difference in their environ-
ment with these trees."
The awareness, faith, and community
spirit generated by young people who put
down Christmas trees that trap wind-
blown sand did not happen overnight.
Every January for a decade, some Scouts
have positioned trees that either create
new dunes or enhance existing ones.
Then, in a year or two, salt-tolerant
plants take root and anchor dunes slowly
growing in width and height. The seed-
lings are planted by young people—or
sprout from seeds blown in with the sand.
"The Dunes Day program is so simple
that initially people cannot believe it
really works," said Shea. "People watch
us put down the trees. They come back a
few months later and the trees are not
there. And they suddenly realize that no
one stole the trees, that they have been
covered by sand. And they say, 'It
works!' "
Two troops—40 of Jacksonville Beach
United Methodist Church and 330 of St.
Augustine's Memorial Lutheran Church
—independently began beach restoration
projects.
Bob Lea, Scoutmaster of Troop 330, in
1981 was searching for a troop service
project when he read about the use of
discarded Christmas trees on beaches in
New Jersey. And Robert Petrick in 1980
asked fellow Troop 40 Scouts to help him
with his Eagle Scout dunes restoration
project on Jacksonville Beach.
Troop 40 Scoutmaster Mike Walker
said the troop laid down trees for a
quarter of a mile on a beach right down-
town. A year later in a second Eagle
project planned by John Wawzynski, the
Scouts planted sea oats atop bare sand
dunes created by the first project.
When Troop 40 began its work, no one
in the council's 15 counties divined the
full impact that Christmas tree conserva-
'He'd be a great pointer if he wasn't so cowardly. "
