Newton Abbot
Restoring Nature, Valuing People
​
We are a community organisation based in Newton Abbot, that is dedicated to working with local people to improve our levels of wellbeing, grow our green economy and take care of our natural environment.
​
We’re developing a range of projects and services for people from all parts of our community, so do please have a look around our website and let us know if you’d like any more info.
​
Lets improve our lives and our planet together!
​
As you explore our site you will notice that each page, has its own look and feel to it, and yet all are connected. This reflects the work of our staff, volunteers and the outdoor environment itself, creating an online ecosystem that replicates the importance of connectivity we share with the land that we work with and on.
​
Our current project is the Pesticide - Free Bradley initiative. This is a partnership - building process bringing local residents together with our local Councils, farmers, businesses and a range of voluntary groups and organisations to create a community that moves beyond the need to use pesticides to control unwanted plants,insects and invertebrates. This will help us tackle the decline in pollinators which could threaten our national and global food supply, support a more biodiverse and resilient local ecosystem and create a safer and healthier community for us humans too!
​
If you live in the Bradley Valley, Highweek or Hele Park areas please have a look in your shed or garage and book your free pesticide collection with Teignbridge District Council....

We will be organising a range of activities and events throughout​ 2024 and 2025 to support local people to go pesticide free. And we also have a stock of these beautiful Garden Signs if you'd like to show your support for nature in your garden :

Another important ongoing project is the Bradley Bug Recovery Network.
This is a broad-based, citizen science initiative to engage with local resident in
the Bradley Barton and Bradley Valley neighbourhoods in Newton Abbot.
We will "bee" measuring insect numbers to give us a baseline reading from
which we can chart our success in restoring populations and increase biodiversity.
