Local Initiatives Improving The Environment
We believe that soil health and nature that is thriving is the basis for human life. We support a gradual change in our landscapes into regenerative farming and believe that economic growth can flourish alongside a healthy landscape.
Ivybridge area is ideally located between the coast and Dartmoor National Park for a thriving landscape beneficial to human health and nature. With the River Erme at its heart, we wish to see clean clear water and that we reduce the dominance of fossil fuels.
