Carbon Impact Tool
Local Groups
Moor Trees
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.
Devon Energy Collective
Our aim is to take action to address the climate emergency and to deliver the Devon Carbon Plan by creating a Devon that runs entirely on green energy. We believe that, rather than buying power from outside the country, we can produce clean, locally owned energy here in Devon. This will significantly boost our local economy, retaining approximately £1.76 billion in our county and creating a local industry and jobs across the region.
South Hams Tree Wardens Network
We protect mature trees in Parish Conservation Areas and trees with Tree Protection Orders (TPOs) on them. Also involved in lobbying SHDC on the importance of trees in planning.We are affiliated with the Tree Council who run the Tree Warden scheme nationwide.
