Greenwich Dunes Trail

4.6 kilometres (2.9 mi), out and back or as a loop; leads to the parabolic dunes and to Greenwich Dunes Beach.

A little heap of sand behind washed-up seaweed becomes a dune with some marram grass, and ten steps kill the plant again.

Beginning
sand collects behind seaweed, stones or driftwood.
Marram grass
holds the dune together with its runners.
Residents
savannah sparrow, meadow jumping mouse, red fox, northern harrier.
Damage
ten steps kill a marram grass plant; then the wind blows holes into the dune.
Protection
closed areas, boardwalks, replanting of marram grass.
After Fiona
marked recovery along the coast by spring 2025.
