Ian Jardine the Chief executive of SNH along with Stan Phillips and Andrew Campbell (also from SNH) visited the Dunes recently. We gave them a full tour concentrating on how the build of the golf course has had so little impact on a huge proportion of the site - currently a number of orchids and other wild flowers are in bloom giving the roughs a beautiful colour - even the wild thyme on the fairways survives due to the restricted heights of cut - giving them a purple look which is different but very much playable!!! Stan visits us regularly - giving us advice and helping us protect and enhance the SSSI where ever we can. The picture shows us looking at Frog orchids close to a bunker on 16.
