Learn how YOU can make a difference and discover how planting trees with Moor Trees combats climate change, creates habitats and increases biodiversity on Dartmoor.

About Moor Trees

Moor Trees is an independent charity dedicated to restoring native woodland on Dartmoor and in South Devon. They aim to improve the environment and connect people with their forest heritage.

“We have a new vision for Dartmoor, one that looks wilder, with woodlands that form part of a mosaic of restored natural habitats, offering significant benefits in the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss; woodlands that coexist with farming, archaeology and recreation, connecting people to nature and to their heritage.

The way people look at England’s upland areas is changing. There is a growing realisation that many areas of the UK, including Dartmoor, would naturally be more wooded. Restoring native woodland can bring multiple environmental benefits, as trees (and their soils) help to retain water and reduce flooding, as well as sequestering carbon. It would also allow many species of animals and plants currently confined to remnant fragments of woodland to flourish. Our vision includes building a landscape that is teeming with insects, birds and animals, including livestock, Dartmoor ponies and deer, beavers, wild boar, eagles, cranes, red squirrels, pine martens, and more.”

The A384 from Buckfastleigh and the A385 from Totnes to Plymouth meet at a roundabout in Dartington village. From here take the small road up the hill through the houses and at the top of the hill cross over a mini-roundabout onto Barracks Hill.

On your right are bungalows and a row of garden sheds. Further down on the right, the site gate is set in a high hedge just before houses on the left.

You can park by this gate and enter the site.

Turn right and walk along the back of the hedge to find our nursery site.
