Dune rehabilitation/revegetation workshop

THE long awaited Dune Rehabilitation/Revegetation Workshop will be held in uMhlanga on Saturday 30 November 2013 at 8am to 12.30pm.

Trevor Edwards and Dudley Horn to take us on a tour of the excellent work that has been done to revegetate the dunes south of the Durban View Car Park. There were extensive wash-aways in this area a few years ago. Residents can learn from this work. There are many people working hard to save our dunes and if all the advice and knowledge is pooled, residents can come up with something that will help others make the task a little easier.
