How we help

Our planting program relies on volunteers to help conserve the dunes at City Beach and Floreat Beach to mitigate the impact of Climate Change.

  • Monitor beach usage, impact and environmental changes.
  • Conduct volunteer working days for beach front restoration and maintenance.
  • Assist the Cambridge Town Council with problems associated with the coastline.
  • Seek funding for coastal management projects.
  • Monitor beach-front developments and assess impact.
  • Encourage public interest in the preservation of the coastline.
