A polluted watercourse sees the return of insects and birds after management and restoration
Take part in a gathering of local stakeholders to help the River Avon, River Gara & Slapton Ley, and the Salcombe–Kingsbridge Estuary.
On Tuesday 17th June we gathered at Follaton House alongside The Bioregional Learning Centre, Devon Climate Emergency, and South Hams District Council to host an afternoon session looking at joined up climate and nature action in South Devon.
Bat conservation, hedgehog conservation, engaging with local landowners, home energy saving, exploring renewable energy generation
We have declared a climate & environmental emergency, we voted that we would consider the climate & environment in every decision and action, we have embedded that within our formal process and hire agreements, etc, we created an ongoing phased Habitat Plan to improve biodiversity on land we own or manage, and we are working on a wider Climate & Environment Plan.
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.
