For me the ocean is a playground, a chance of freedom & escapism. A blue expanse to explore and learn. To float upon, to dive below, to bathe within. To see the wonders that it holds. A way to travel to see new places. A space to respect. A place to protect. #WorldOceansDay

We are delighted to be working with the Duchy of Cornwall to expand and naturally regenerate Wistman’s Wood on Dartmoor. This is such a special and unique place and this will give the wood long term resilience and provide benefits to people and nature. https://t.co/poSd4g09vU

Duchy hopes to at least double size of Wistman’s Wood, a 3 hectare fragment of ancient woodland, by 2040
