Last week, a group of volunteers joined forces to plant 450 saplings on Dartmoor, helping to recreate a resilient temperate rainforest for future generations. These are the first trees planted as part of the Duchy of Cornwall's plans to double the size of Wistman's Wood - one of Britain's last remaining ancient temperate rainforests. 🌳
Powerful new report out today from @Campaign4Parks . Despite the best efforts of organisations such as ours, #nature is still struggling. #Woodland coverage in National Parks has flat-lined over the last decade. Let’s get National Park #nature back to full health.
Useful chat with other #community #tree #nurseries on the progress of the Growing Connections project @CoventryCAWR @FellowshipTrees inc. talking about the benefit of ‘standards’ for the #social #environmental and #community benefits etc as well as building a stronger voice
Another glorious morning at Roadford. Thank you @nationaltrust for inviting me to share our story and talk about our work restoring native #woodland on #dartmoor with your wonderful team of staff and #volunteers

How do community tree nurseries manage their #biosecurity? Informative morning with @WoodlandTrust @FellowshipTrees and other CTNs talking about and sharing what we do at at our #treenursery. #Risks #planthealthy
What a turn out today of #volunteers for what was far from pleasant conditions for #treeplanting. A fitting tribute to our much missed colleague Brian #soup #soggycakes
Cancellation of planned tree planting at venford on 21/1 due to amber weather warning for strong winds and risk of flying debris and other hazards in the expected conditions. Apologies for any inconvenience-all those booked to attend should now have received notification

Busy Wednesday as ever at our #dartington #community #tree #nursery processing #acorns collected from Wistman’s Wood on #dartmoor. As well as our volunteers we were pleased to have a helping hand from John from @BBCSpotlight - check out the feature on this evening’s local news
Thank you @BBCSpotlight for featuring our acorn collection with @duchyofcornwall at Wistman’s Wood as part of the new restoration project to expand this vital #temperate #rainforest habitat bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0… (final item)
Thank you @duchyofcornwall for the opportunity to help with the fantastic #expansion of Wistman’s Wood - no doubt there is a lot of excitement and enthusiasm to support this vital #restoration project of #temperate #rainforest
A glorious day on #dartmoor to start the #restoration and expansion of #wistman’s wood - from today’s #acorns a larger Wistman’s Wood will be planted - couldn’t think of a better way to draw #seedgatheringseason to a close
