Love the beach? Help protect it! Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilwoman Vicki Walsh invite residents to take part in the Town’s annual Dune Day on Saturday, March 29th, at 10 a.m. at TOBAY Beach.

This hands-on environmental initiative helps stabilize beach dunes by planting dune grass, which serves as a natural shield against storm surges and erosion. Strong dunes mean a stronger coastline, protecting TOBAY Beach for generations to come.

“Our Dune Stabilization Project brings together volunteers of all ages in a meaningful effort to protect and preserve our beautiful shoreline,” said Supervisor Saladino. “It’s a great opportunity for students, Scouts, and nature lovers to make a real difference while enjoying the outdoors.”

Dune Day is a fun and rewarding experience for families, school groups, and environmentally conscious residents. Volunteers will work alongside Town officials and crews, learning firsthand how simple actions can have a lasting impact on coastal preservation.

Councilwoman Walsh added, “This is a fantastic way for the community to come together and make a lasting impact on the environment. The planting of dune grass not only helps protect our beach, but it also builds awareness of the importance of coastal conservation.”
