‘We will be looking at sustainable ways to take wood from restoration work into peatland restoration projects, surveying the oldest trees across themoor, gathering seed to grow local trees and talking with farmers about the possibilities of incorporating trees into their farms.’Stuart McLeod, director England – London & South at The National Lottery Heritage Fund, said: ‘Landscapes and nature form the bedrock of our culture and heritage, improving wellbeing, sparking curiosity, and protecting and providing for the community’s surrounding and inhabiting them.‘We’re pleased to support Dartmoor National Park Authority, the RSPB and The Woodland Trust and look forward to working with them to progress their plans to apply for a full grant at a later date.’
