11/12/2005.  This is a long beach.  Where we were, all the vegetation is part of a 2002 Dune Restoration Project, an Eagle Scout project of Troop 82, Fairfield.  We first ate lunch on one of the several picnic tables by a closed concession stand.  After lunch we examined the dune area.  We could only see the vegetation from the fence, so we did not see the interior of the area.  But we still got a pretty good plant list considering the difficulties.  The area beyond the small dune project to the left side of the beach is private beach.  Dr. Patrick L. Cooney.
