This is a natural process, and it’s part of how the dunes constantly shift and change over time. Along some trails, even signs and staircases have been buried. What wonders might be buried underneath the dunes?

What’s a ghost forest? In the Oregon Dunes, a ghost forest occurs when sand carried by wind accumulates. Once it reaches a 33-degree angle, the dune sand begins to slide, burying trees.

While approximately 45% of Oregon’s coastline is flat, the amount of dunes have been receding by about 5 feet per year due to invasive plants and the nitrogen they add to the soil. First beachgrass thrives, and then shrubs, willows and wetlands take hold; finally forests of Shore Pines grow.

These invasive plants were first seeded in the late 1800s, and then more rapidly after Hwy 101 was built, to stabilize the shifting sands. They have since threatened the long-term survival of the dunes.
