Oregon dunes die as invasive grass seals inland sand

Forest Service district ranger Robert Schrenk warns the foredune is trapping sand, pushing vegetation east at 20 to 60 feet yearly, risking a stabilized landscape within a century. A 32,000 acre recreation area study will guide remedies over five years to restore the sand vegetation balance.
