From new pathways to new woodlands, South Hams communities have, for a long time, had a strong tradition in undertaking local environmental projects.

These usually require a combination of local enthusiasm and external funding. Over the years, South Hams District Council has worked with dozens of communities to support such projects and to help secure external funding.

If you have a project in mind, please contact the Council’s Natural Environment and Recreation Team on 01803 861234 or Email: natural.environment@southhams.gov.uk
