Our senior school has been involved in the Muriwai Sand Dunes Rejuvenation Project for the second year running.
The stability of the sand dunes at Muriwai beach has been under threat for sometime.
These sand dunes provide a natural habitat for a range of native species and protect land and property from erosion, storms and wave damage.
Since the 1960’s, Muriwai’s shoreline has retreated around one metre a year. This has caused expensive problems such as the collapse of the public parking area and the need to relocate the Muriwai surf lifesaving club.
Our school is one group of many enthusiastic groups of young people who are involved in this annual dune restoration project, aimed at preserving this precious resource for future generations.
Thank you to our parent helpers for transporting and supervising our caring eco-children, and assisting with the planting.
