SussexBird Club
to meet March 11
"The National Wildlife Refuge
System" will be the topic of the
Sussex Bird Club meeting at 7:30
p.m., Monday, March 11.
George O'Shea, manager of
Prime Hook National Wildlife
Refuge, will discuss how and why
the refuge system was set up, what
purposes the refuges serve and
other information about these vital
areas that protect and offer sanctu-
'ary to a myriad of species.
The Sussex Bird Club wel-
comes visitors and guests to all of
its functions at no charge.
The Sussex Bird Club was
formed in June 1983 when 16
birders met and agreed to official-
ly join together. The primary ob-
jective of the club is to promote
the knowledge and enjoyment of
birds. In addition to nine monthly
meetings, the club runs approxi-
mately 12 field trips per year,
mostly to Sussex birding areas
such as Cape Henlopen State
Park, Prime Hook National
Wildlife Refuge and Great Cy-
press Swamp.
The club also has conducted the
annual Seaford-Nanticoke
Audubon Christmas Count since
1983 and has been active in sup-
porting conservational activities
throughout Sussex County. The
club joined with the Nanticoke
Watershed Preservation Commit-
tee in 1993 to construct and install
osprey nesting platforms along the
Nanticoke River near Seaford.
While the club has no official
affiliation with the Delmarva Or-
nithological Society, it cooperates
closely with that group and mem-
bers of each organization are wel-
come to join in the other's activi-
ties.
Yearly dues are $7 for an indi-
vidual and $10 per couple. For
more information on the meeting
location and membership, call
Marta Atchison, 539-0384; Presi-
dent Bill Baumgardner, 945-2025,

Delaware Hospice to Judi Tulak, hospice program coordina-
tor, while Barbara Blockson, 1996 chair, looks on.
Volunteers sought for
beach grass planting
The Blizzard of '96 caused
heavy damage to dunes along
Delaware's coast and hundreds of
volunteers are needed to help
plant beach grass this spring to re-
store the dunes. Delaware's Sev-
enth Annual Beach Grass Planting
Project will be held from 9 a.m. to
noon on Saturday, March 23.
"During the blizzard, all eyes
were on snow removal, but our
state's beaches got pounded pretty
badly during the storm," said

Pratt said volunteers are needed
to help plant grass in the Fenwick
Island, Lewes, Cape Henlopen,
Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach
and Seashore State Park regions,
as Well as on bayside beaches.
"Dunes are a major part of our
coastal protection against damag-
ing storms," Pratt said. "They ab-
sorb storm waves and act as stor-
age areas which replenish sand to
eroded beaches during storms."
Pratt said that since the blizzard
of Jan. 7-8, state crews have been
at work rebuilding dunes and
plantings will help reinforce these
new dunes• "While the rest of the
state was digging out, we were al-
ready planning our repair work in
anticipation of the beach grass
planting," he said.

teering for the beach grass planti-
ng effort, call Marcia Cagle at
