A fun and informative instructional video that will teach people of all ages how to properly plant dune grass! Coastal dunes are the first line of defense in the event of storms! You can help to improve the habitats of our beaches and dunes by engaging in beach grass planting efforts. Planting correctly is the first step and this video will give you the tools and knowledge you need to own your experience as you help us build a safer coast! D-P-F-N Dig-Plant-Firm-Name!

Hi Bianca! This is Pat Rea from UPenn. I contacted you a while ago because your research is how my daughter won 3rd place in her science fair when she was in grade school and she did a project on sand fences . I am so glad to see the video to learn more about dune grass and how we can protect our beaches. I am really happy that we have this connection, I reminds me of my daughter and the fun we had working on this project! Thank you for taking care of beaches and making Penn proud!

Can I plant it in soil?

[@biancasaru5]

Yes but it it will need to drain very well for the plants to take and then do well
