Boy Scout John McQuade of Long Beach, second from left, organized volunteers to plant more than 3,000 units of beach grass at Point Lookout beach on Dec. 6. The project is part of McQuade’s effort to earn his Eagle Scout award. The beach grass planting helps shore up the shore line at the east end of the barrier beach. The Town of Hempstead announced that further plantings will continue on Dec. 19.
