The dunes at Glenelg beach are being restored through a $50,000 Green Adelaide grant with significant volunteer support as well. The project has focused on weed removal so far, with over 6000 plants to be planted later in 2022. This revegetation work is expected to stabilise the dunes and prevent further erosion.
