A wooded valley opening up to the moors of Dartmoor with a rich and varied industrious past
Plans are underway towards creating a healthy, beautiful, natural environment for wildlife and people, whilst also preserving this woodland for ever.
Plymbridge is a young woodland which was planted 110 years ago. It is made up of compartments of trees of a single species. This is perfect if you are trying to grow trees as a crop for production of timber but not ideal for nature. So our plan is to reinstate the healthy, beautiful, natural woodland that would have been here before the planting.
