A project to 'rewild' 16 acres of a Devon valley. In 2011, Hill Crest was sheep-grazed fields with a small wooded stream and mature hedgerows. Now it is a jumble of planted and naturally-regenerating native trees, encroaching thorny scrub and brambles, grass and wildflowers, buzzing with bees, butterflies and other insect life, full of birdsong, and home to mammals, reptiles and amphibians. In time, when the canopy of trees starts to close, new grassy rides and glades will be created, providing the important edge habitat where so many species flourish. One day, it will be a part of an interconnected mosaic of wild land across Devon, allowing nature to once again thrive in all its awe-inspiring diversity and abundance.
