About this title

Synopsis

This pioneering work by J.M. Westgate chronicles the efforts to reclaim the eroding sand dunes of Cape Cod in the early 20th century. Westgate, who was superintendent of the Cape Cod National Seashore, describes in detail the techniques used to stabilize the dunes and prevent further erosion, from planting beach grass to building rock walls and jetties. The book also includes stunning photographs of the dunes and the coastal landscape. Reclamation of Cape Cod Sand Dunes is an important historical document and an inspiration to anyone concerned with environmental preservation.
