Heaths To Sea: Landscape Recovery Of The Lower Otter Valley

20/6/2025

July 17 @ 12:00 pm - 8:00 pm
You are invited to attend the Heaths to Sea Public Forum at Bicton College EaRTH Building on Thursday, 17th July.
From 12 pm to 8 pm, we will be hosting a public drop-in exhibition to share draft high-level plans for 20+ years of land management activity to encourage nature recovery across the diverse landscape of the lower Otter Valley.
You are welcome to drop in at any point during the exhibition, read about our plans, and have your questions answered by the landscape recovery team and expert ecological, hydrological, and heritage consultants. The exhibition will include information on:

Current and proposed types and extent of habitats in the project area
Key species and why they are important
Impact of climate change and how the project will help mitigate this
Importance of enhancing how the land supports productivity through farming and public amenity
How the project should benefit the Pebblebed Heaths and Otter Estuary National Nature Reserve
How the project actions will be monitored and evaluated to understand improvements to nature
How the public can be involved

Additionally, from 1 pm to 2.15 pm and 6.30 pm to 8 pm, there will be a series of targeted short talks and a panel Q&A session to answer all your questions. Both sessions will follow the format of:

45 mins – talks on Heaths to Sea draft proposed plans (Dr Sam Bridgewater and Kirstie Ellis), Current and potential future state of nature in the lower Otter Valley (Geckoella – ecological consultants), Importance and impact of water in the landscape (Dynamic Rivers – hydrological consultants).
30 mins – Q&A with panel of speakers.

Mother's Union Update

27/5/2025

MOTHERS UNION has a few money-raisers during the year which resulted in us sending £600 after our AGM to the Exeter Office which has a board of Trustees to distribute the funds across the Diocese and abroad. We usually nominate local needs.

Early this year we sponsored a request to Exeter MU from Steve Hitchcock of St. Peter’s Primary School for a Computer programme which would transform the learning of SEND children. I am delighted to tell everyone that the MU Exeter Diocese Trustees have granted this full request of £300.
