Volunteers have removed 2 skips of sour figs from the dunes at Braye Beach.
More than 30 volunteers - including 15 from the Guernsey Conservation Volunteers (GCV) and 9 from the Alderney Wildlife Trust - joined forces at the weekend (15 November) to tackle invasive plants on Braye Beach.
The group cleared around 13 cubic metres of sour fig from the dunes, filling two skips over the course of five hours.
Sour fig, an invasive succulent, spreads rapidly and can smother native plants such as marram grass, altering habitats.
The effort came just days after the GCV received the King’s Award for Voluntary Service, the highest national honour given to charities.
The award recognises the group’s long-term contribution to environmental projects across the islands since 1996.
