JURASSIC Coast visitors are being asked for their views on an £8 million National Trust funding bid, launched to protect sand dunes in England and Wales.

Sand dunes are particularly prevalent at Studland Beach and the public is being urged to take part in the consultation.

A National Trust spokesman explained: "If successful, the bid would help the trust and other organisations fund work in areas like wildlife conservation and public engagement.

"You can help by letting the bid partners know what kind of opportunities you would like to see at sand dune sites you visit and the kinds of opportunities you think should be available to nearby communities."

The survey, available at surveymonkey.co.uk/r/sandduncom, is online until the end of April.
