End of season Dune Planting (Macrocarpa Reserve) August 27th
There are a huge amount of plants to plant into the dunes to close off the planting season. The dune areas expanding into the reserve to create a wider buffer between the sea and the land. Some help to get them settled in their forever dunes would be great!
Meet at Macrocarpa Reserve (Dog exercise beach where you can launch sailboats)
Supported by the 5th Wheeler Group who will be in town for the planting.
