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!

​

One of our current projects 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!

​

Here is the publicity flyer for the Community Pesticide Collection that we ran in October 2024 in partnership with Teignbridge District Council, Suez Recycling and Newton Abbot Town Council, supported with funding from the Devon Environment Foundation and Devon County 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.
