Fishermen enjoy fall weather…one fishes from Sea Isle’s southernmost beach while a boat returns from offshore via Townsend’s Inlet. Avalon’s inlet-front homes are in the background.

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED for dune grass planting in Avalon and beach sweeps in Avalon and Stone Harbor. See below for details on each:

FALL DUNE GRASS PLANTING will take place in Avalon on Saturday, October 20^th, beginning at 8:30am. Volunteers should report to Avalon Community Hall at 8:30am for a brief demonstration and instructions. Lunch will be served around 11am, in Community Hall. Volunteers please call the Recreation Department at 609-967-3066 to sign up for dune grass planting.

CLEAN OCEAN ACTION BEACH SWEEPS will take place in Avalon & Stone Harbor on Saturday, October 20^th. In Avalon, please call the Recreation Department at 609-967-3066 to sign up for the beach sweep. In Stone Harbor, beach sweep volunteers should report to the Beach Patrol parking lot on 95^th Street. Clean up will take place from 9am to 12:30pm and volunteers of all ages are welcome.

BUZZING THE DUNES: Aerial fertilization of Avalon’s dune system will occur the week of October 22^nd-26^th. Beginning at approximately 7am on one of those days (depending upon weather) an airplane will make five flyovers at intervals of 20 to 30 minutes. The aerial fertilization is recommended by the US Department of Agriculture and has been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration.

MONARCH MIGRATION: Be on the lookout for monarch butterflies migrating southward during the next few weeks. Cape May is a well-known stopover destination for monarchs, as New Jersey’s coastline funnels them there for a rest before crossing Delaware Bay to continue southward. Last year’s monarch count was the highest count in four years; monarchs begin heading south in September, but three to four weeks remain in this year’s migration.
