Beavers are back!
Beavers are amazing, capable of transforming our rivers and wetlands for the better. Devon Wildlife Trust has led beaver conservation projects in Devon for more than a decade. Their 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. We can help restore nature.
If you want to be active on some climate and nature based projects, feel free to come along on Tuesday and join in with our discussions and plans.
Last Tuesday month we continued to focus on community composting to see how we can support this project going forward and make it happen in Totnes.
This meeting was attended by Ben Bryant who is leading on the Community Composting project across South Hams. He will help us to access where we are and next steps.
I’m linking the recently published Community Composting guide that Sustainable South Hams has produced for the South Hams project.
As well as the River Otter Beaver Trial, there are other projects such as St Marys and St John’s churches in Totnes & Bridgetown. Both had swift boxes fitted this year , and lures – taped swift calls – to attract swifts.and we welcome new participants, so join us on the third Tuesday of the month to help us make a difference to the Climate & Ecological Emergency as we transition to zero carbon together.
