Walk Eastville

Barrier beaches, strips of coastal dunes bordered by water, provide an opportunity to observe how plants and animals adapt to harsh conditions of wind, surf, and sand. To learn more about this environment, join Dick Johnson at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, June 15 for an exploration of Eastville Point Beach.

Eastville Beach is an apt place to examine attempts to balance recreational use with the habitat requirements of natural communities.

The walk is sponsored by the Polly Hill Arboretum. Call 508-693-9426 for registration and carpool info. Program costs $18, or $15 for Polly Hill Arboretum members.
