Town of Highland Beach 3614 South Ocean Boulevard • Highland Beach, Florida 33487 October 28, 2026 Dear Condominium Manager: Over the past few years, the Natural Resources Preservation Advisory Board has worked closely with oceanfront properties across Highland Beach on successful dune restoration and management. Many condominiums and homeowners have already replaced invasive vegetation with native sea oats, built deep-rooted systems that trap sand, reinforced dunes, and protected coastal property values. We would welcome the opportunity to speak with you or present briefly at your next board meeting to share how straightforward and cost-effective restoration can be. Key benefits of a native dune system: • Lower maintenance costs: Eliminates continuous, costly trimming of sea grapes and overgrown non-native species. • Stronger storm defense: Deep-rooted sea oats naturally build sand elevation and protect structural integrity. • Minimal ongoing upkeep: Requires only occasional removal of weeds and non- native growth. If your management or board is interested in learning more, please reach out directly: • Contact: Barbara Nestle, Chairperson • Email: nesbarb@gmail.com Thank you for your commitment to preserving our dunes and beach - the vital natural barrier and key asset of our Three Miles of Paradise. Warm regards, Natural Resources Preservation Advisory Board Town of Highland Beach Page 9
