Dynamic Dunescapes

Help natuurbeschermers de biodiversiteit van zandduinen te herstellen door plantensoorten te registreren

By identifying and recording plant species, you can help scientists and conservationists protect and restore biodiverse sand dune habitats in England and Wales, using this app. With a beautiful range of habitats, coastal sand dunes are home to some amazing wildlife – including butterflies, lizards, toads and orchids. As a citizen scientist, you’ll help researchers gather vital sand dune habitat and species data to help strengthen the understanding of what’s going on in coastal sand dune environments, and to help improve the conservation work that is being done. From monitoring species to taking part in transect or quadrat surveys, explore the range of citizen science activities in the app which you can get involved in, and share your findings in the app when you next visit your chosen sand dune site. Dynamic Dunescapes is a partnership project supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the EU LIFE Programme. Project partners are Natural England, Plantlife, Natural Resources Wales, National Trust and the Wildlife Trusts.
