Tim Gilbertson, centre, Coorow Shire Ranger, and a local for many years, briefs us on how a simple innocently created track over a dune, can in time blow out with the action of wind and waves into a huge growing bare sandy patch.
Tending the Tracks Initiative
An exciting way for the future. 4WD access though still protecting the areas we travel through.
Eight Mitsi members participated throughout the weekend from Guilderton to Jurien Bay. We learned a lot, gave valid input to the Forum, and interestingly the coast care people attending also learned that most 4WDers are not careless or destructive....that most are like them ..wanting to keep the land in care for our future generations.
