A project to improve the east Devon environment has won £750,000 of government funding.

Clinton Devon Estates said the scheme - called Heaths to Sea: Landscape Recovery of the Lower Otter Valley - aimed to improve the area for people and wildlife.

The award will fund the two-year development phase of the project, which will be assessed by the government.

If approved, work will start on planting more woodland, expanding wetland areas and improving access to the countryside.

They had already done loads of work here to rewild the area. Nice that they are expanding it.

Probably good for local tourism too.
