This project focused on restoring and maintaining the dune system at Clifton Beach Reserve, a popular recreational area. Revegetation was undertaken by Wildcare Deslacs with a grant from Clarence City Council and volunteer assistance. Ongoing weed removal is also undertaken. The project is primarily a habitat restoration project, with dune stabilisation as a co-benefit.
