Mae Twyni ar Symud yn brosiect newydd cyffrous ac uchelgeisiol i adfer rhai o’r twyni tywod pwysicaf yng Nghymru a Lloegr er lles pobl, cymunedau a bywyd gwyllt.
Mae llawer ohonom yn gyfarwydd â thwyni tywod ac yn eu coleddu fel tirweddau arfordirol hardd, ond maent hefyd yn bwysig am eu bod yn ferw o fioamrywiaeth. Mae’r twyni hyn yn noddfa i rywogaethau unigryw a phrin sydd wedi addasu’n berffaith i fyw mewn tywod. Mewn twyn iach, gallech ddod o hyd i degeirianau, llyffantod, adar a madfallod yn ffynnu!
Ond mae’r creaduriaid arbennig hyn mewn perygl. Dros amser, mae llawer o dwyni tywod wedi cael eu gorchuddio gan wair a phrysgoed sydd wedi sefydlogi’r tywod yn ormodol, ac mae rhywogaethau ymledol wedi llethu rhai cynhenid. Gwyddom bellach fod ar dwyni angen ardaloedd o dywod sy’n symud yn rhydd, ynghyd â llaciau twyni cysgodol iach, ac ardaloedd ble mae’r llystyfiant yn isel er mwyn cynnal y bywyd gwyllt amrywiol. Rydym yn defnyddio technegau cadwraeth arloesol i ailfywiogi’r twyni ac i wneud eu tywod symudol yn gartref perffaith unwaith eto i’n bywyd gwyllt sydd dan fygythiad.

Footprints in the Sand – A jewellery journey
There is something about sand and sand dunes that has always captured my imagination. The way sand flows through your fingertips, the mesmerising way it falls through an egg-timer and how the invisible wind can create huge, graceful yet fickle dunes.
Journey to Dynamic Dunescapes: Tim Braund, Engagement Manager
What I had not appreciated was how rare, vulnerable and at risk these ‘unseen’ landscape gems are, the most at-risk habitat in Europe; over-stabilised and with reducing areas of bare and moving sand with associated losses in biodiversity and some species barely holding on as a result. The chance to be part of an ambitious large-scale project was too good an opportunity to miss.
Glow Patrol: on the hunt for Cornwall’s amazing glow worms!

Painting dunes: art inspired by Studland
Blog I grew up in North Devon so the dunes have been part of my life for many years. Firstly with Braunton Burrows and then Woolacombe, both magical places. My childhood summers are memories around picnics in the dunes and long balmy evenings watching the sun go down with friends. The hillocks of dunes…

What’s new at Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe NNR
In the spring of 2020, the progress of Dynamic Dunescapes project work in Lincolnshire has of course been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Here’s an update on what we have been able to do at Saltfleetby-Theedlethorpe NNR.

New fences protect toads and help cattle in Lincolnshire
In February this year our Lincolnshire team installed a series of new fences in carefully-chosen sites across the dunes at Saltfleetby-Theedlethorpe. The purpose of these new fences is to protect certain areas, including some of the pools that are used as key breeding areas for the dunes’ population of rare natterjack toads. The fences are…
