We are working with Plymouth and South Devon Community Forest to create, restore, and connect 52 hectares (128 football pitches) of priority habitat.

Over the next two years, we will be planting trees that will grow into woodlands, wood pasture, parklands, a traditional orchard and hedgerows.

This winter, over 30000 trees will be planted at Buckland Abbey.
