Fire Island National Seashore published a new Park News booklet for Summer 2006. While printed supplies are dwindling, you may still get a full copy of the text on-line.

You may also sign up for the park's e-newsletter by visiting our General Management Plan web site.

Although no longer in print, the booklet produced in early 2004 under the direction of the late Superintendent David Spirtes contains valuable foundation information about Fire Island National Seashore and its resources.

Tiny rootlets of the American beach grass (Ammophila breviligulata) and mycorrhyzal fungi hold together the grains of sand that make up sand dunes on Fire Island. You can help protect the dunes by not walking or driving over the beach grass.
