An evening organised with the Devon Wildlife Trust about its project to reintroduce pine martens to their once native habitats across Dartmoor and Exmoor. More information about the Two Moors Pine Marten Project here.

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 and completely extinct on the south west peninsula. As a result, we have lost a beautiful, fascinating wild creature that plays a key role in our woodland natural processes. Until now...

Pine Martens Bounce Back: the Two Moors Pine Marten project is reintroducing pine marten populations in Dartmoor and Exmoor to restore this missing link in our woodland environment and to help people live alongside these amazing animals once more. The first translocations have taken place and pine martens are now living wild on Dartmoor for the first time in 150 years.

Catch up with the story so far — and watch the first pine marten to step into the wild woodlands of Dartmoor in 150 years.

More information will appear here soon about the format of the evening, who is speaking, etc. It's being organised by the Devon Wildlife Trust in collaboration with Ashburton Arts Centre. You're welcome to book a free ticket or a to choose to make a donation. Donations will be split between the two organisations.

Doors and bar open at 7pm
