Clinton Devon Estates are delighted to announce we were recently successful in a bid to Defra to secure funding for a 2-year Landscape Recovery development project.
The Heaths to Sea Landscape Recovery initiative holds nature recovery ambitions of national significance. Located in East Devon’s lower River Otter catchment and funded by one of the government’s environmental land management schemes, this project represents one of the most exciting nature enhancement opportunities in the UK with the focus including river/floodplain restoration and woodland creation. The scheme spans 4,000 hectares of the East Devon countryside and will power nature recovery across the agricultural hinterlands linking three parts of the Pebblebed Heaths National Nature Reserve (NNR). Our vision is for this diverse landscape to be nature rich and ecologically healthy whilst also supporting food production, net zero, timber and access needs.
To help us to shape plans to enhance the landscape and wildlife of one of Britain’s most beautiful locations and make a lasting contribution benefiting nature and society we are currently tendering for two pieces of work for a hydrological consultant to undertake a study and survey of the project area and for ecological consultants.
