why we need your help
You are a big part of a very important environmental, ecological, and cultural rebuilding! The dunes along Lobsterville protect Tribal lands referred to as “the Common Lands,” which host some of the few naturally occurring cranberry bogs in the state as well as a host of endangered or threatened plant species. This fragile environment needs the buffer from the salt water to protect the balance of water, soil, and salinity.
making a difference
The goal of this project is to prevent further dune loss and increase the area in which sand will be able to collect to restore the beach, and to foster a sense of community pride in protecting out natural and cultural resources.
