Dartmoor Talks: Pine Martens on Dartmoor
Shy, curious and playful. The pine marten is a stealthy, acrobatic hunter that relies on the cover of woods and trees for its foraging missions. It was once a fundamental part of our woodlands, but it is now critically endangered in England and Wales. As a result, we risk losing a beautiful, fascinating wild creature that plays a key role in the health of our woodlands.
Pine Martens Bounce Back: The Two Moors Pine Marten Project has reintroduced pine martens to Dartmoor and Exmoor, after an absence of 150 years, helping to restore natural balance to our much loved woodlands and bringing back these fascinating wild creatures to the landscapes where they once belonged.
Find out more about this incredible project and how the introduced pine martens have settled in to their new Dartmoor home with Community Engagement Officer Martin Prothero from Devon Wildlife Trust
Pine Martens Bounce Back: The Two Moors Pine Marten Project is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, this project aims to restore healthy populations of pine martens to the South West of England. Lead by Devon Wildlife Trust. Supported by Dartmoor National Park Authority, Exmoor National Park Authority, Forestry England, National Trust, Somerset Wildlife Trust, Woodland Trust.
The talk will be approximately 40 minutes long with an opportunity to ask questions at the end.
This talk is part of a series of online talks being held to mark the 75th anniversary of Dartmoor National Park.
