Marram grass and other sand loving plants then colonise the dune (helped with extra planting) and they stabilise the dune and trap additional sand. Just by looking at the sheer size of this new dune system demonstrates how successful it is. Without the fencing the sand would have blown onto the road instead. It has been so effective that additional fencing has been added to increase the size of the dune.\u00a0A nature based solution project between Swansea Council (Parks, Highways and Nature Conservation teams) and Natural Resources Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div
