Help Protect 14th Century Sand Dunes
27 Jun
Summary
- Visitors urged to stay on paths and remove litter.
- Ancient dunes date back to the 14th Century.
- Dunes are a globally threatened habitat.
The Cleethorpes Local Nature Reserve, a site of special scientific interest, is seeking visitor assistance to protect its centuries-old sand dune system. These ancient dunes, with sections dating back to the 14th Century, represent a significant historical and ecological feature of the coastline. Coastal sand dunes are classified as a threatened habitat worldwide.
As thousands are expected for Armed Forces Day, coinciding with World Sand Dune Day, a reminder is issued for visitors to aid in conservation efforts. Visitors are specifically asked to remain on established paths, carry out all litter, and be aware of the surrounding wildlife to prevent disturbance. This collective effort is crucial for safeguarding the area's natural heritage.
