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.
We are lucky to have several great markets in South Hams that enable us to support local farmers, makers, and businesses.
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.
