Description

The last time you were at the beach did you stop to take a closer look at the dune system behind you?  This hearty ecosystem is home to many different plants and animals; however it is sensitive to human impact.  Come explore the stretch of dunes at Cherry & Webb Beach  and learn about the diverse characteristics of a dune system.  See the different specialized plants and animals that have the ability to survive in this ecosystem.  Learn how dune systems form and are a critical part of the barrier beaches that protect the mainland from strong storms.  Discover the ecology of the dunes and learn about the history of the dunes in Westport.  To register for this dune hike or for more information call the WRWA office at (508)636-3016.  Please let us know if you do not have a beach pass since you need one to park at Cherry & Webb. Costs are $5 for non-members and free for members.
