About DEF

Devon Environment Foundation channels funds to some of the most innovative and impactful grassroots nature restoration projects in the UK, providing crucial kick-start or scale-up support.

Since our launch in summer 2020, we’ve raised over £1 million, and supported 66 brilliant grassroots projects, awarding a total of £859.8k in grants. You can see the projects we have supported HERE.

Our priority is to increase the amount of funding available for local nature restoration in Devon by showcasing project successes and inspiring more people to get involved.

* Our Panel

- Shelley Castle,  Flete Field Lab – an experimental project trialling the use of mycelium and biochar to sequester carbon, enhance soil quality, and clean up river pollution, identifying replicable low-cost, low-tech nature-based solutions that empower landowners and communities.

- Rachel Phillips, Apricot Centre - a School of Regenerative Land-Based Studies offering practical training that fills a skills gap and grows the next generation of regenerative farmers who restore soil health, sequester carbon, and mitigate the effects of climate change.

- Helen Aldis, Moor Trees – an exemplary community tree nursery that is increasing the number of high quality, local provenance saplings to meet the demand for reforesting areas of Dartmoor & South Devon, and restore the globally important Atlantic Rainforest.

We hope you can join us for this inspirational evening at The Forge at Winslade Manor!

We'd be very grateful for a suggested minimum donation of £45 per person to help raise funds for more grassroots nature restoration projects.
