Food, Land & Water

With the support of the Government’s Trees for Climate Land Acquisition Fund, South Hams District Council have purchased a 65-acre site to be transformed into a community woodland, orchard, and market garden.

Often the Sustainable South Hams compost mentors will come out to communities to share the love for compost, but last week, a group of compost enthusiasts from Dartmouth and Totnes did a tour around several of the fabulous community sites that exist in the South Hams.

Street Compost Club is a new project that brings neighbours together to collectively create compost from their food waste in a fun, practical and hygienic way, which can then be used in their gardens and planters to grow more food and flowers.
