The Lost Rainforests of Britain
October 2022
This is the story of a unique habitat that has become so denuded and fragmented, most people today don't realise it exists. Britain's rainforests have been lost from both the landscape and from cultural memory, yet fragments of them remain and continue to permeate our culture in forgotten ways. The Lost Rainforests of Britain takes the reader across Britain, showing how these habitats might be restored to the places they once were.

Introduction to Habitats: Sand Dunes
|
|
Coastal sand dunes are habitats created by sand, seashell fragments and other sediments that are moved by wave and wind action along a coastline or beach until they become trapped above the strandline. This usually occurs where vegetation is growing as their roots and leaves help to bind the sand together, preventing the sand from being blown away by the wind.
