Devon Wildlife Trust Local Group

We are a friendly group who meet to enjoy and learn about the wonderful variety of habitats and wildlife in our local area, and we welcome everyone who attends. You don't have to be an expert or even a DWT member to participate!

Nature reserves

There are several Devon Wildlife Trust Reserves around Bovey Tracey, all of which are open to the public. We are always looking for new volunteers to help us maintain and develop these local reserves. They include Emsworthy Mire (on Dartmoor), Bovey Heathfield, Little Bradley Ponds, Chudleigh Knighton Heath and Teigngrace Meadows.

One Ilfracombe sets out to redesign the way services are delivered locally to achieve better outcomes for the people that use and pay for them. As one of the pioneers that paved the way for the national Our Place! programme which is now being rolled out across the country, it offers local people more say over services and expenditure.

By bringing services, businesses, schools and residents together into one team, we can achieve so much more and be in a better position to fulfill our vision of "Better health, economic prosperity and high quality living environment for the people of Ilfracombe."
