Climate Change Formby Dunes 2022

By Dr Phil Smith

A fascinating conversation on the effects of climate change on Formby wildlife and where they live.

Hot summers and lower rainfall is welcomed by some of us and helps if you are a plume-horn hoverfly invading from the south. It's not so good if you need wetlands for breeding, like the Natterjack Toad and lots of other insects, for which our sand-dunes are famous.

Warmer temperatures also help invasive plants grow over the dunes; bad news for many creatures, including the Sand Lizard, that depend on bare sand for their livelihoods.
