Given the scale of the climate and nature emergencies, the ambition of the Devon Environment Foundation is to protect and restore at least 30% of Devon’s land and water by 2030.
Devon Environment Foundation – Supporting Local Environmental Projects
The DEF supports projects that improve the environmental health of Devon’s rivers by enhancing wildlife biodiversity, water quality and flood management. This includes initiatives to restore and create wetlands, plant native trees, reintroduce beneficial species such as beavers, clean up plastic, and run community engagement programmes to help change behaviour.
One example of the sort of projects they support is on the River Sid:
Stoney Orchard is a rewilding, food and forage project using permaculture principles in 13 acres of uplands in the East Devon AONB. The project aims to demonstrate the effective use of a water management system on the land to filter and slow the flow of water to the Sid River Basin.
