Happy New Year from the Sustainable South Hams team! To celebrate, we've put together a collection of some of our activities over the last year.
Growing Devon Schools is excited to announce their next teacher training day, funded by Naturesave Trust.
Mel Harvey and Ruth Leonard-Williams from the SusSH compost team recently took a research trip to visit the inspirational Loop Frome project which is revolutionising resource use and composting - with the aim of sparking similar projects here in South Hams.
Some of our work includes the UK's First River Charter for the Dart at Dartington and devondoughnut.org (based on the priciples of Doughnut Economics)
Moor Trees grows native broadleaved trees in two South Hams nurseries from seed collected locally by its volunteers for planting in South Devon especially Dartmoor National Park. We campaign for a more nature-rich Dartmoor with temperate rainforest filling its valleys and help organisations elsewhere to copy our model.
