This winter marked a major milestone for The Sharpham Trust and Ambios as nearly 3,000 trees were planted as part of the Plymouth and South Devon Community Forest project across 10 hectares of land, supported by the energy and dedication of hundreds of volunteers, trainees, and local community members.
On 26th/27th April we hosted our 2nd annual Community Composting Masterclass. The event brought together existing groups with new and emerging ones to learn, discuss, connect, share and inspire.
Producing and distributing the Gardening for Wildlife booklet and enabling other groups to print and distribute it. Reintroducing Water Voles to the River Gara.

We have been restoring and protecting freshwater environments in the Westcountry for more than 25 years. Our Mission is to restore and protect the rivers, lakes, and estuaries of the Westcountry for the benefit of nature, people, and local economies. Our Vision is to see people helping our Westcountry rivers flow freely and teem with life and valuing our vital natural resource, water.
