Enhancing biodiversity of verges and green spaces, working alongside the Devon Wildlife Trust Avon Valley Project. Campaigning to preserve old school field as a place for wildlife and people; hoping to plant a community orchard and create a pond. Encouraging wildlife-friendly gardening and creation of hedgehog highways. Investigating possibility of community composting. Organising wildlife walks led by local experts.
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.
Practical, nature based experiential learning and well-being are at the core of what we offer. Through our courses the vital message of conservation and real sustainability are integrated into the experiential learning process. Ultimately we are establishing Deer Wood as hub of low impact ‘Green Learning’ excellence by aligning ourselves with other similarly oriented organisations.
