A new project is launching in 2020 to help restore threatened sand dunes across England and Wales

Posted: 08/08/19

A fantastic new project will launch in 2020 which will help restore sand dunes to enable wildlife to thrive. Dynamic Dunescapes will target some of the most important sand dune systems across England and Wales, including dunes in Sefton, Morecambe bay, the Duddon sand dune complex, the Ravenglass Estuary Dunes and the Solway Coast dunes.

The project will work with schools, local groups, volunteers and visitors of all ages and abilities to create more bare sand which will help wildlife to flourish. The project aims to:

  • Restore sand dunes by carrying out pioneering conservation actions.
  • Raise awareness that healthy dunes need moving sand.
  • Encourage more people to explore, enjoy, and help protect the dunes through a programme of innovative public engagement and citizen science events and activities.
  • Develop skills to manage dunes better, both now and in the future.
