We've launched our volunteer wildlife warden scheme

We’ve launched our own wildlife warden scheme to help preserve the area’s biodiversity – and we're inviting everyone interested in nature to get in touch with us today.

The scheme, which looks for wildlife warden volunteers in West Devon help preserve the area’s biodiversity, was launched on 28 September at Kilworthy Park with a nature collaboration café event, held in partnership with the Devon Wildlife Trust. 

Watch our video on the launch event:


The scheme aims to bring communities, environmental groups, town and parish councils and other bodies together to network and create opportunities to protect, aid and increase wildlife in each of West Devon’s parishes. 

We’ve also created the scheme to help meet our priority of creating a 10% biodiversity net gain in the habitats of Council-owned wood and green open spaces by next year. 

If you’d like to find out more about the wildlife warden scheme, learn about upcoming volunteer days or get involved in any potential projects, please email wildlifewardens@swdevon.gov.uk
