A group of volunteers joined forces to plant 450 saplings on Dartmoor, helping to recreate a resilient temperate rainforest for future generations. These are the first trees planted as part of the Duchy of Cornwall's plans to double the size of Wistman's Wood - one of Britain's last remaining ancient temperate rainforests.
The ancient Oak woodland covers over seven acres of the West Dart Valley on Dartmoor, Devon. It is a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) in recognition of its significance for nature conservation. Temperate rainforests are globally rare habitats with 90% lost since the Bronze age, resulting in only 8% remaining in Devon and Cornwall.
The newly planted trees will be established with the long-term ambition to form a ‘mirror image’ of Wistman’s Wood. This work is being delivered by The Duchy of Cornwall The Duchy of Cornwall in partnership with Natural England, Moor Trees, the Woodland Trust and tenant farmers.
