Water voles make a welcome return to Exmoor

This September, 150 water voles were reintroduced at six carefully chosen sites on the Holnicote Estate on Exmoor. The water vole is one of the fastest declining land mammal, disappearing from 94 per cent of its habitats. The plan for one of Britain’s most adorable, yet rare creatures is that it will be given a whole new start in a healthy environment, where they can breed and flourish.

Caring for the coast

Volunteers take part in a beach clean at Studland Bay

Beach cleans across the South West

We look after miles of coastline and beaches across the South West, and rely on volunteers to help us clear the tons of litter that appears on the coast. Take a look and see if there's a beach clean near you for this weekend and beyond.

Keeping the South West coast beautiful

Beach cleans are big part of our work to maintain the coast. Read about some of the work that goes into looking after and maintaining the beaches we love thanks to the hard working volunteers.
