Our school coastal workshops were a hit!

Local school groups jumped at the chance to learn how important our sand dunes and foreshores are to protect our precious coastline at recent workshops. 

Eighty-five students, from three local schools, joined Council’s Coastal Management Unit to explore our foreshores and identify threats to our dunes and how we can protect our dune ecosystem. 

Students also got their hands dirty planting 300 native plant species, from Council’s nursery, at their local beach to help improve the resilience of the dune systems to coastal erosion. During the workshops, two bush regeneration experts shared their knowledge and experiences of how the Traditional Owners use the foreshore.  

Council would like to thank all the students and teachers who were involved in these workshops.
