Grow and plant native, broadleaf trees on Dartmoor and South Devon

Established in 2001, Moor Trees is a Devon-based charity dedicated to recreating native woodland across Dartmoor and south Devon, and increasingly helping projects around the Tamar valley and beyond.

Although our region seems to be well wooded, much of the forest is commercial softwoods, Victorian game plantations (often made up of trees from elsewhere in Europe, such as sweet chestnut) and shelter belts.

True natural woodland, carpeted by bluebells or daffodils in Spring, rich with native birds and butterflies, is rare, mostly found in the steep valley fringes of Dartmoor.

We aim to restore native broadleaf woodland by growing trees from locally collected seed in our community tree nurseries, and planting them as new woodland on private and public land.

Each year we collect tens of thousands of local tree seeds to grow in our community tree nurseries.  We provide relevant information regarding grant applications and woodland design, and a tree planting service by our staff and volunteer groups.

These trees can be purchased for woodland planting, hedgerow creation and restoration schemes.

Moor Trees build biodiversity by working with local people. Every year we work with hundreds of volunteers of all ages and abilities.

Moor Trees have won various national volunteering awards and run at least three activity days per week. We work with various partners in and around Dartmoor, the City of Plymouth, and the South Hams.

We are also developing research, education and training programmes with partner schools, colleges and universities.
