DESCRIPTION:DWIB Networking Brunch\nThis month we’re back at Mount Kelly College in Tavistock for our women-only Networking Brunch. As ever\, it will be relaxed and informal. It’s your chance to meet like-minded\, professional businesswomen. \nWe are also delighted to have Steve Shepherd\, CEO of the Cyber Resilience Centre for the South West who will be giving us some useful tips and resources to better protect ourselves online. \n  \n  \n\nAbout Mount Kelly\n \nThe Head Master’s Address by Mr Guy Ayling\, MA – Head Master and Principal of the Foundation\n“Mount Kelly\, set on the edge of Dartmoor National Park\, combines academic excellence\, an outstanding range of opportunities beyond the classroom and exceptional pastoral care. \nThe Mount Kelly education stands apart in the values and attitudes of its young men and women. Compassion\, tolerance\, kindness\, integrity\, generosity of spirit and a commitment to service underpin a determined dedication to academic excellence. \n\n\n\n\n\nMount Kelleians are nurtured by a sensitive rigour in which they are expected to take the risk of being more than what they may think they are\, to pick themselves up\, and others too\, when things do not go their way and in so doing to learn the true nature\, joy and responsibility of success. \nPreparing our pupils to take their places in a challenging and rapidly evolving world with confidence and courage and gifting them the skills\, in the words of John Donne\, to be ‘involved in Mankind’\, is our duty and should be that of all places of learning. I hope our website gives you a glimpse of what Mount Kelly has to offer – but it can only be a foretaste. \nWe would be delighted to arrange a visit so that you can see the way we work\, and experience the atmosphere and spirit of Mount Kelly for yourself.” \nFind us using What3Words: https://w3w.co/arrive.corn.villa \nAbout Devon Women in Business\n\n\n\n\n\nDevon Women In Business (DWIB)  is a membership network for women working across the county of Devon.

SUMMARY:DWIB Networking at Moor Trees
DESCRIPTION:DWIB Networking at Moor Trees\nJoin us for relaxed\, women-only networking with refreshments at Dartington Tree Nursery\, run by the charity\, Moor Trees. Go behind the scenes\, meet the passionate team and get your hands dirty with a fun tree-related activity. \nLearn how YOU can make a difference and discover how planting trees with Moor Trees combats climate change\, creates habitats and increases biodiversity on Dartmoor. \nAbout Moor Trees\nMoor 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. \n“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. \nThe 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.” \nDirections:\nGrid reference: SX 791 614.\nWhat3Words: ///declines.twirls.overjoyed \nThe 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. \nOn your right are bungalows and a row of garden sheds.
