Plants Stabilize The Sand

In some areas, the blowing sand has covered the vegetation. Sometimes new plants take hold in the sand and stabilize the dune. Over time a new forest can grow. Perhaps sometime in the future, conditions will change, and this forest will be engulfed by moving sand. Everything in the park is part of a dynamic ecosystem.
