Poison ivy: friend or foe? 🌿

It may cause an itchy rash, but poison ivy is an important native plant. Deer and birds feed on it, and its extensive root system helps stabilize the shifting sands at Sandbanks!

To avoid bringing home an unwanted souvenir:

✅ Learn to identify poison ivy
✅ Stay on designated trails (pets too!)
✅ Wash exposed skin with dish soap to remove plant oils

A little awareness goes a long way toward enjoying the outdoors safely!

🪵🌊 Driftwood belongs on the beach!

That weathered log is more than just a piece of wood. Driftwood helps stabilize shorelines, supports wildlife habitat, and contributes to the natural processes that shape our beaches and dunes.

Help protect the shoreline ecosystem at Sandbanks by leaving driftwood where you find it. 💙
