Supporting Local Dunes
The event was organised through the Farming in Protected Landscapes (FiPL) programme, facilitated by Cornwall National Landscape. The project focuses on tackling site-specific issues affecting the dunes, with Beach Guardian leading the effort once again.
By placing the trees in the sand, the aim is to stabilise the dunes and encourage natural restoration, helping to protect the coastline from erosion.
More Volunteer Events Planned
For those who missed out, Beach Guardian has more volunteer events coming up. Anyone interested in getting involved can find details on their Facebook Page.
