Take a journey through the Lanphere Dunes

Arcata, Ca., (KIEM) Nature enthusiasts joined naturalist Jenny Hanson for a journey through the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge’s Lanphere Dunes, which focused on the dynamic nature of the dunes.

Volunteer for Friends of the Dunes, Jenny Hanson, shared that the ecosystem is forever moving and stressed that people should take care of it.

“Lanphere dunes which is where we are today is a particular example of a dune system that is vegetated. It’s got flowers in it, it’s got trees in it, in those plants and the bees that are connected in here are sort of unique to this area. They depend on one another, if we don’t take care of this it will disappear.”

Friends of the Dunes is dedicated to conserving the natural diversity of coastal environments through community supported education and stewardship programs.
