Group on our recent tour of Chard Junction Nature Reserve

Apart from our work over the past years with planting and maintaining trees, we have continued to provide bi-monthly talks in the Village Hall on a wide range of topics for example on bats, wild flowers of the area, the Jurassic Coast, the history of Thorncombe etc.

As these talks take place on a Thursday evening, not all of our members can attend, so we are hoping to provide more family-friendly events in the coming months. Please see the Events page for more information.

We also:

provide an information booklet for the Parish
Monitor planning applications in the Parish.
Publish two sets of local walks packs as well as a regular newsletter
Give grants to members on application for tree planting
Arrange an annual village walk followed by a delicious tea.
Lend out to members our bat detector. This enables you to track and identify bats in the area.
Respond to queries and concerns from members about local environment issues
