Volunteers
Horses & plough
And the mechanical digger back to work…
Sand is blowing…
Or not…
When will we be satisfied?
When is the project a success?
-It is likely that, regarding the
current climatic circumstances,
reactivated dunes will not stay
mobile by itself in the long run
-After taking away the remnants of
stabilization, reactivated dunes
should be left to nature
-Also if mobilized dunes or smaller
blowouts get stabilized after several
years, they have had there positive
influence on the grey dunes and on
rejuvenation of grey dunes around
them
