Dynamic Dunescapes: shifting sands – dune
rejuvenation A followup to a previous article from Dynamic Dunescapes
written by Tim Braund, Dynamic
Dunescapes Engagement
Manager.
This ambitious project, rejuvenating some of England & Wales'
most important sand dunes for people, communities and wildlife. The concept of
dune rejuvenation is still relatively unknown and conventional management
remains that dune systems need to be stabilised particularly for flood and
coastal protection. Find out more and access the latest resources.

Generation Green - supporting young
people to get into green careers written by Bek
Trehern, Engagement and Training Assistant at the Field Studies
Council
Generation Green is the first project to be delivered by the Access
Unlimited coalition, which comprises YHA (England & Wales), The Outward
Bound Trust, Scouts, Girlguiding, Field Studies Council and the 10 English
National Parks. The project aims to target young people aged 14 to 26 years from
the North, Midlands, and coastal and deprived urban areas. At the core of these
are young people that are traditionally less likely - due to social, economic
and cultural factors - to connect or engage with nature and conservation. The
six organisations involved will provide jobs, training, volunteering roles,
residentials and outdoor and online learning experiences, aiming to offer more
than 100,000 opportunities to connect young people to nature – many for the
first time – and to cultivate a sense of care for the natural environment. [more]

that connects Rangers and provides relevant conservation news,events, stories,

with over 90 countries represented, and the app is now keen to get more UK
Rangers onboard. [more]
