How lucky are we to live here? East Devon is a beautiful part of the world, and we should do all we can to protect our natural environment.
It was great to welcome the Minister for Nature, Rebecca Pow MP, to Budleigh Salterton last Friday for a fantastic celebration of Pebblebed Heaths National Nature Reserve being extended into wetlands created by the Lower Ottery Restoration Project (LORP).
The multi-million-pound investment into our local environment through the LORP is already paying dividends, with greater protections for biodiversity and a more resilient ecosystem.
To top it off, the expanded nature reserve is part of the “King’s Series” celebrating the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. He has good taste!
Thank you to Natural England and Devon Clinton Estates for a great celebration, and for their important work in helping to take care of East Devon’s precious environment.
