Visit to Pebble Grove Friday 12 April at 10.00 am to view dune rehabilitation of beach front area | Umhlanga
Dear
Members and Friends
We are able
to accommodate a few more interested people to come this Friday 12 April at
10.00 am to a visit to Pebble Grove to view dune rehabilitation of beach
front area, Umhlanga.
Trevor
Edwards and residents at Pebble Grove 42 Marine Drive have started a process of
restoring the forest community of the dunes which separate their complex
from the beach and ocean.
Liz Scott
has been assisting them in this process and has kindly facilitated a visit to
the project.
The purpose
of this meeting is to share knowledge, view the project and to network with the
aim of broadening the vital work that is being undertaken in this
sensitive area.
We hope
that you will be able to join us on Friday to view the
considerable work that has been achieved to date.
Liz
Scott writes “The body is called Park to Park and comprises of most of the
complexes between Eastmoor Park and Sea View park. They have worked together to
rehabilitate the dunes after high seas caused destruction a few years
ago. It was necessary to protect the base of the dunes
and to try and re-establish fore dunes. I don't know exactly when
they started but it has taken a few short years to see an enormous
change. Trevor has photos of what it was like
before. Work continues still and the efforts have brought
about a great awareness of the necessity to continue protecting the dunes.”
Please

Kind regards
