Dune Grasses in a War of Ignornance

Dune Grasses play an important ecological role, stabilizing beaches and dunes and helping to prevent erosion. However, beaches and dunes are so appealing to people that they trample these important plants into oblivion, thus allowing the very beaches and dunes they love to blow away and erode.

Thanks for your visit - hope you didn't step on the dunes during your travel to see me again. I've been too busy for soon three months to visit my blogging friends enough, but I hope it will be better next year. And I promise, I won't step onto the grass. At least if I can avoid it. Will you do T for T.... Tomorrow?
