On the Ground

The National Capital Greenbelt Slack Dune Conservation project has written an overview article of the restoration process completed after the first year of the project. This will be published in Biodiversity Journal in the On the Ground section in issue 12 (4) available online from the Taylor and Francis website in early January. The documentation process is well under way to create a model for future dune conservation initiatives.
The first year of the sand dune conservation project has been an enormous success both in terms of the restoration work accomplished and in the outreach to the community and volunteer participation. The photo above shows a typical Sunday restoration session.
