Could Messy Gardening Save the Planet?

Can we help the planet by doing virtually nothing in our own back gardens? At Dittiscombe Hills Estate we've been rewilding a previously farmed valley for 21 years. Find out if the proof is in the oak tree!

In Pursuit of Spring

At Dittiscombe in South Devon Ruth has been watching the wildlife in the valley as it continues with its daily rituals. There has been plenty of wildlife action, from delightful Thrush songs to a brief visit from some unusual visitors.

Up early and armed with a camera and trusy dog Kes, Ruth set off in pursuit of some beautiful photos in the valley at Dittiscombe on Christmas Day. First up a starling sunrise to start the beginning of what was to be a perfect day.
