Moor Trees celebrates 25th Anniversary Year

Throughout 2025 Moor Trees will be celebrating a significant quarter century milestone with a packed schedule of events. The charity has been actively restoring native woodland on Dartmoor and surrounding areas for the past 25 years. Volunteers, landowners and anyone interested in nature are being asked to join and support their efforts to achieve their Vision for the next 25 years, of a wilder, more natural Dartmoor with one third native woodland and scrub cover by 2050. Moor Trees has already made headway in achieving this mission, however, the growing climate and nature crises means they need even greater momentum and support to achieve such goals.
