GULF SHORES, Ala. — Gulf Shores Public Works crews are using resident donated Christmas trees for beach restoration efforts.
According to a city Facebook post, crews began the work this week at the beach access point by the resident parking lot.
The post said those efforts include “leveling the sand under the blue access mat to improve beach accessibility, clearing drifted sand from the boardwalk to keep pathways clear and restoring dunes with the recycled Christmas trees.”
The city will soon begin working on adding sand fencing and native vegetation to strengthen the dune system.
