For the second summer, the National Park Service (NPS) has hired a Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) crew to assist with many park projects. These energetic young students recently performed valuable brush clearing and trail maintenance work in the Buxton Woods Trail near the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Work conditions have been difficult with the hot weather but that makes for a refreshing afternoon swim after the work is complete! Students, from left to right: Dustin Spruill, Mike Moseley, Daniel Gryzik, Michael Bowers, Karyn Stafford, Zane Castellow, Marina Clough, Tyler Walworth, Tanner Payne, Miles Howard, Mason Jensen, Frankie Powers, Daneeka Govan, Carly Creef, Ian Miller, Zack Zattoli, Hunt Thomas, Marley Brushwood, Halea Creef, Josh Budde, Zay Spencer, Tayler Smith, Ben Liverman, Ty Farrow,and Jeff Davis |

The beaches along Cape Hatteras National Seashore sparkle at night.
When you kick the sand, you disturb tiny dinoflagellates like seasparkle, magnified in the picture to the left. A chemical reaction causes them to glow with a blue-green light.
