DECATUR, Ga. - Chris

“The beauty of this project is
that there’s hardly been any ex
pense. The plants, whose root
system will save the dunes
naturally, were mostly donated.' I
guess nobody ever thought of it
before because of the labor in

That’s all changed, and today,
dozens of nearby civic groups are
involved with the project, the FFA
advisor says.
“The project was really an
experiment when we started,” he
says, “but it has worked
beautifully, and it will work
anywhere.”
