Over 100 participants walk and talk dune restoration in the picturesque Far North
The Dunes Trust fifth annual conference was a great success thanks to our wonderful hosts - the Taipa Beach Improvement Society, Taipa Area School and Northland Regional Council - our tenacious organising team, inspiring speakers and generous sponsors.
The conference brought together more than 100 people from all over New Zealand and provided opportunities to see, hear and discuss a range of current dune restoration topics including restoring dune systems and lakes, toheroa abundance, seed collection and pingao weaving. Conference proceedings will be available here in April.
