South Hams District Council Establish New Community Woodland
09.01.25
To start the year, the South Brent community enthusiastically planted the first 2,500 trees for a new 65-acre community woodland, now named Hope Wood. This initiative is part of South Hams District Council’s commitment to combating climate change and biodiversity loss by planting one tree for every resident in the South Hams.
On a bright Saturday morning, numerous volunteers from South Brent donned their wellies and planted their own trees. The event saw South Hams District Council Leader, Cllr Julian Brazil, and Ross Kennerley of Sustainable South Brent proudly unveil Hope Wood, a name chosen by the community. An information board was also revealed, outlining the future plans for the woodland.
