Meeting and setting out from Haverigg Inshore Rescue, Sea View, Haverigg Beach.
The dunes explored with revelatory insights on a three mile walk. See how plants adapt to life in dunes, strandlines, shingle and saltmarsh. Richard Scott is former botanist with the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. He has surveyed dune and saltmarsh habitats in Morecambe Bay, The Wash, Essex, Shetland and the Outer Hebrides. He now works in promoting renewable energy.
