Staff members Cara Abbott, George Gann and Michelle Smith worked with a group of volunteers from the community on the Restoring the Gold Coast program. ‘While sandy beaches have been renourished, sea oats have been planted and turtle nests protected, the vast diversity of coastal uplands has remained in a depleted state,’ Gann said.
