What We Do:

The Dunes Collaborative works to identify restoration, recreation, and educational needs in the dunes and to allocate funds to enhance these efforts. Identified priority projects include: controlling the spread of non-native invasive plant species; recovering rare plant populations; improving and protecting sensitive coastal habitats and listed species; and enhancing visitor experiences through education, interpretation and visitor services in the dunes.

The Dunes Collaborative reviews projects submitted to the Restoration Subcommittee and provides recommendations on those projects in accordance with criteria established by the Stewardship Collaborative and approved by the Restoration Subcommittee. The Restoration Subcommittee is responsible for final project approval and making sure that all activities are consistent with the settlement criteria.
