In a relatively short 30-year interval, a steep, bare sand dune face at Laketown Beach has been stabilized by vegetation, which has expanded significantly since the original photograph was taken. Not only grasses have expanded, but also woody vegetation and trees. At the time of the 2019 photograph, the threatened Pitcher’s Thistle (Cirsium pitcheri) was also seen nearby.
