The Dune Trust (NZ) is a nationwide organisation that brings together a wealth of experience on the management of Dunes within New Zealand.
The experience that is gained will help to improve the Dunes around NZ. This will help to maintain and then improve the Eco System that thrives in these areas.
The trust will be down at Lyall Bay on 31st July near the airport end of the bay at 3.30pm where they will spend time planting a area of the Dunes.
This planting has been ongoing with help from The Lyall Bay Coast Care and Wellington Council.

Lyall Bay Coast Care Facebook. Has Updates on what the group does.
These changes have been ongoing for a number of years and will continue to improve with the help of local communities, where many people give up their time to ensure that no further losses occur.
Even today many dunes still remain under threat from development, vehicles,people and non native plants.
There is approx 1100km of Dunes around NZ with many people leaving a drive from these areas.
Take a look at the Dunes Web page to see if there is anything you can do and also if there are any local groups that you can join or even setting one up yourself.
