The Conservation Communities project worked in 11 parishes between Great Torrington and Hatherleigh, from 2020 until the end of 2022, to record as much about the natural environment as possible.

Updated biodiversity audits were produced for the 11 parishes that were covered by the Conservation Communities project from 2020 until the end of 2022.

We are looking for volunteers to support DWT’s team of membership recruiters by leading engaging activities at shows and events across Devon.

Local groups organise events throughout the year. Go along and enjoy a talk, help set up an event, or become a committee member and help run the group.

Green Communities is a pioneering project that promotes nature neighbourhoods, connecting people and wildlife in the Keyham & West of the City, Devonport and Central Park.

Can you spare some time to help out at our Christmas at Cricklepit Event on the 8th December?

We have been inspired by the hundreds of communities across Devon leading amazing projects that are helping wildlife where they live, learn, work, or play, so we have launched a brand-new award to celebrate your efforts.

Devon Wildlife Trust’s nature reserves have been featured world-wide in TV series and feature films, they’ve also been the setting for many cultural and other events. No wonder: the 50+ wild spaces we look after contain some of the UK’s most dramatic scenery and awe-inspiring nature. If you are thinking of using one of our nature reserves for your event – large or small - for any commercial or charitable activity, then you must contact us first and seek permission.

By 2030, we want to see at least 1 in 4 people actively engaged with wildlife and we want everyone in Devon to make action for nature’s recovery part of their daily life. A key part of this will be to mobilise community action; to inspire and enable the creation of wildlife-friendly villages, parishes, towns and cities to support nature’s recovery in Devon.
