How to respect the coast
💧🌿 How can nature help protect our coast? 🌊
Join us on 4th August to find out how natural flood management measures are helping to slow water runoff, reduce erosion, and support efforts to manage coastal change in North Swanage.
Learn about the benefits these nature-based solutions can bring for the coastline, local communities, and wildlife, and discover how this work forms part of a wider approach to building resilience through a project at Whitecliff Farm.
Location: All Saints Church, Redcliffe Road, Swanage
Time: 3.30pm – 5.30pm
There will be a short presentation on the project from Gen Crisford (National Trust) plus opportunity to find out more from the wider Future Coast North Swanage team.

Calling all Coast Detectives!
Have you ever wondered how your local coastline used to look, or how it might change in the future? We’re inviting children and their families to become Coast Detectives and take part in the Our Coast: Then, Now, Next challenge.
Investigate old photos, listen to stories from parents or grandparents, explore what the coast looks like today, and use your imagination to picture what might come next. You can share your discoveries through drawings, photos, interviews, writing, or short videos.
Your clues will help us piece together the story of our changing coast, past, present, and future.
Ready to start investigating? Join the challenge and share what you uncover!
