In the latest episode of Voices of Dartmoor, we were absolutely delighted to venture to Dartington to visit one of the two tree nurseries run by local charity, Moor Trees.
There I met CEO, Helen Aldis to discuss the work of Moor Trees. We chatted about why the charity was set up over 25 years ago, the work they do to restore native woodlands on Dartmoor, and some of their biggest achievements.
We also discussed the challenges they face in their work, how the changing climate is affecting tree planting, and Helen told me about a particularly interesting mutlti-agency project they were involved with on Harford Moor.
A common theme throughout the conversation was a deep appreciation to the many volunteers who dedicate time to supporting the work of Moor Trees, through seed gathering, tree planting and other essential tasks.
It was a fantastic conversation and one you can find on all major podcast platforms or comment TREES to be sent a direct link to the episode on Spotify.
(And don't forget to head over to their social media channels to see what they've been getting up to and find out how you can get involved 🌳💚)
