Ten Mile Dunes, north of Fort Bragg, California. This was a random stop, a quick 20-minute hike off Rt 101 on the return drive from a meeting early last week. I was impressed at the amount of restoration on this site, not much non-native Ammophila left; lots of native dune mat, lots of bare sand. It was quite windy along the coast that late afternoon, and the sand was very much mobilized. It was a great chance to see ecosystem processes in action. There were also a few snowy plovers active on the sandy shoreline of the river and in the nearby dune margins.
