Hedge Laying: Supporting Wildlife Habitats

We actively restore and maintain hedgerows using traditional Devon farming techniques. These hedges provide shelter and nesting grounds for birds, small mammals, and insects, enriching the local wildlife at our South Devon camping site.

Wildflowers Without Herbicides

Our meadows bloom with wildflowers, thanks to our strict no-herbicide policy. This chemical-free approach fosters a natural habitat for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, adding to the charm of our campsites in South Devon.

Tree Planting for a Greener Future

Since 2016, we have planted over 600 trees and shrubs, including hawthorn, blackthorn, and hazel, with an additional 200 native trees added in 2019. These trees enhance biodiversity and provide essential nature corridors, making our campsites near Dartmouth a haven for wildlife.

Wildlife Conservation at Sea View Campsite

Our sustainable efforts are yielding incredible results. In Spring 2023, a pheasant successfully hatched 11 chicks in the long grass near one of our newly planted hedgerows. Our meadow fields, once used for arable production, now serve as a refuge for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Additionally, these fields provide winter feed for local cattle, reinforcing our support for the farming community.

Eco-Friendly Practices for Campers

We encourage all visitors to embrace our sustainability ethos while enjoying their stay at our South Devon campsite. Here’s how you can help:

  • Respect Wildlife: Avoid disturbing hedgerows and meadows, allowing new plant growth to flourish.
  • Leave No Trace: Dispose of litter, barbecue ash, and dog waste in designated bins to keep our Devon camp sites pristine.
  • Return Barbecue Blocks: Protect the grass and help maintain campsite resources by returning borrowed barbecue blocks.

Future Sustainability Goals

Looking ahead to Winter 2025, we plan to expand our hedge-laying programme with the support of volunteers from the Devon Rural Skills Trust. Strengthening our hedgerows and planting more native trees will further enrich the natural beauty of our campsite near Kingsbridge Devon.
