Description
North Truro is a village in the town of Truro, Massachusetts, United States. Due to its proximity to urbanized Provincetown, it is somewhat more densely developed than the rest of the town, with houses and small resort facilities lining the two main thoroughfares, U.S. Route 6 and MA Route 6A. It is home to Truro Vineyards, one of two operating wineries (the other is in Falmouth) on Cape Cod.
Over half of the land area of the town is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore was established in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy, and administered by the U.S. National Park Service. The large impoundment of East Harbor (a.k.a. Pilgrim Lake) is a prominent feature while passing through on the main highway, Route 6.
The hardy grass grows on the dunes just above the beach. By anchoring shifting sand and cutting coastal winds, dune grass creates a place where other plants can grow more easily.
Established coastal sand dunes guard the coast against storm waves that could flood the land beyond the dunes. Conditions here are harsh for plants; few nutrients, almost no water, extreme temperature changes and blowing sand characterize dune habitats. But dune grass's special adaptations make survival possible—its thick, shiny leaves prevent loss of water and also reflect drying sunlight.
The first colonizers of newly formed sand dunes must grow and establish themselves before the sand shifts beneath their "feet." American dune grass is one of these important pioneer plants. It has long, underground stems (rhizomes) that send shoots upward and roots downward. These rhizomes anchor American dune grass and the surrounding shifting sand, creating places where other dune plants can survive.
North Truro is also home to Highlands Links Golf Course, Massachusetts's oldest links course. The course runs along the highland cliffs on the Atlantic coast, and encompasses the Highland Light.
