Beavers and the Devon Wildlife Trust
"Our work on the River Otter Beaver Trial (England's first wild beaver re-introduction project), and the work of The Wildlife Trusts elsewhere, has shown that these natural engineers can provide an impressive range of services from storing climate-changing carbon to flood alleviation."

The Devon Bat Survey is a citizen science project brought to you as part of Saving Devonβs Treescapes, a partnership project led by Devon Wildlife Trust on behalf of the Devon Ash Dieback Resilience Forum. The bat survey forms part of the project's monitoring of key species with a dependence on our treescapes.
Introducing Devon Wildlife Trust
"With two coastlines, two moorlands, ancient woodlands, tumbling rivers and miles of footpaths, Devonβs wonderful natural landscapes are there for you to discover."

I've not visited Dawlish Warren NNR much recently because of Teignbridge District Council lack of effort in re-opening the hide; I think Devon Wildlife Trust are now responsible so am hopeful of progress. Anyway, the nature down there is still magnificent - highlights of last evening's visit: Cirl Bunting, 100+ Sandwich Tern, 1 Roseate Tern, 1 Sanderling and 5 or so Mediterranean Gull.

Wonderful initiative, especially using a mix of native species. π³ π³
However, this doesn't offset rogue sewage outfall, nor trees chopped down in towns and cities.
