Only after 60 years, the authorities finally realized that if not stopped this outrage, an environmental disaster could break out in one area. The landfill was closed the dump. The large debris was moved farther away from the coast, and the small wastes, plastic, tons of glass were left at the same place.

A few decades later, nature itself slowly sorted out the traces of human activity. Ocean waters have cleaned the beach and sharpened every piece of glass. The resulting colorful pebbles of different sizes.

Now billions of glass pieces dot the entire coastline. McKerrich Park bought the area and protected the marvelous site. Park staff cleared the beach covered with glass.

Glass Beach -is a beach in MacKerricher State Park near Fort Bragg, California, named because it is covered with many glass pebbles. The beach is a landmark of the city.

How did the glass beach come about?

At the beginning of the 20th century, a public landfill appeared on the coast. Once upon a time people did not think that such actions could harm nature. Bottles, light bulbs, old cars, broken furniture, and household waste gradually accumulated on the ocean shore.

Only after 60 years authorities finally realized that if not stopped this outrage, an environmental disaster could break out in one area. The landfill was closed. The large debris was moved farther away from the coast, and the small wastes, plastic, tons of glass were left at the same place.

Flag

The traditional provincial flag of Normandy, gules, two leopards passant or, is used in the region and its predecessors. The three-leopard version (known in the Norman language as les treis cats, "the three cats") is used by some associations and individuals, especially those who support cultural links with the Channel Islands and England. Jersey and Guernsey use three leopards in their national symbols. The leopards represents the strength and courage Normandy has towards the neighbouring provinces.

Anthem

The unofficial anthem of the region is the song "Ma Normandie".
