Dune Grass Distribution Set In Brick

BRICK, NJ — Brick Township residents can help strengthen the dunes that have been built to protect property during severe storms by planting dune grass.

The town will be distributing dune grass to any resident who would like to plant the grass on Saturday at Brick Beach 1 from 8 a.m. until noon.

The dune grass is planted to help strengthen and stabilize our dunes. It is provided by Ocean County and has been distributed to oceanfront communities. It can be planted on public or private property.

The township was part of the dune construction project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers after Superstorm Sandy, with the aim of providing greater protection in the future.
