The fencing session of November 21 will be the last of 2009 due to the fact that we have used up all the fencing on hand and the permit is expiring Dec 18.  A new permit will be applied for by the Town.

 

We managed to put up about 15 sets of fence, most of which was in straight sections instead of the vee layout.  This variation was approved by DHEC-OCRM and we hope will be more turtle friendly and will not trap debris as the vee arrangement did.  The straight sections are separated by 10 feet and aligned to the north east-south west.

 

Thanks to those who helped Sat.: Mike Dumas, Mike Smart, Mark Owen, Larry and Jane Darby, Art DiSalvo, Iris Hill and Bud Skidmore and Pop, Isaac and Julian from the Utility Dept.  Bud also helped in the previous session but was inadvertently left off the list. The use of the Town's Gator four wheeler and gasoline post hole digger was invaluable.  Bob Doub arranged to have all the material on hand and prospected out the needy areas in advance.

 

Winter is the season when the wind blows and the sand moves so we should be able to evaluate the straight (shingle style) arrangement by Spring.

 
Sand Fencing is Working!
