Landscape Recovery in East Devon. What does it mean and can we make the right land use choices to make it happen?
Talk by Dr. Sam Bridgewater, Clinton Devon Estates.
We pride ourselves in Devon as being amongst the most nature-rich counties along with Dorset. Although we have landscapes and wildlife that are the envy of much of the rest of England, scratch beneath the surface and all is not as it appears to be in the natural world around us. Declining populations of many of our treasured species, poor water quality and landscapes that can no longer provide vital ecological services are all clear signs that something is badly awry.
