Discarded Christmas trees are being repurposed to reinforce sand dunes at St Annes beach on England’s Fylde Coast. This ongoing conservation initiative, which started in 2013, utilizes the trees to trap wind-blown sand, effectively expanding the dune system over time.

The widened dunes serve as a natural sea defense mechanism. By stabilizing the coastline, the project provides protection for local residential properties and commercial businesses situated near the beach.
