Volunteers have planted 800 younger bushes to increase one of many South West’s final remaining temperate rainforests at Dartmoor’s Wistman’s Wooden Nationwide Nature Reserve.
Collaborative Conservation Effort
The initiative, led by Pure England volunteers, concerned partnerships with the Duchy of Cornwall, Moor Timber, and the Woodland Belief. This planting follows the addition of 450 saplings on the identical web site in March 2025.
Saplings had been positioned inside fenced plots to defend them from potential threats and assist wholesome progress.
Lengthy-Time period Dedication Highlighted
Emma Magee, head of communities and nature on Dartmoor on the Duchy of Cornwall, said: “We’re delighted to return to Wistman’s Wooden and collaborate with companions together with Pure England and Moor Timber on this very important challenge.”
“Restoring this iconic woodland underscores our dedication to creating nature-rich landscapes. Increasing a uncommon temperate rainforest calls for ongoing, sustained efforts,” she added.
