We often use marram grass
to stabilise sand dunes to prevent them being blown away by the wind.
Here we are digging up marram grass at Gullane, before transplanting it.

Description:
Have you ever pushed a
wheelbarrow along a beach? Here two of us are moving marram grass along
Gullane Beach so that it can be planted in areas where the wind is
blowing away the sand.

Description:
Sand dunes are vulnerable
to erosion from the wind and from trampling feet. Here we are working to
protect the sand from erosion by laying turf and by planting marram
grass.
