WATCH OUR VIDEO ON THE WILDLIFE WARDEN SCHEME.
We're launching our wildlife warden scheme to help preserve West Devon's biodiversity - and we want you to come along to our launch event on 28th September.
We want the scheme to bring people together to create opportunities to protect, aid and increase wildlife in each of West Devon’s parishes.
The scheme will launch with a collaboration café event at our office at Kilworthy Park in Tavistock on Saturday 28th September. Working in partnership with Devon Wildlife Trust, the event will focus on nature recovery in Tavistock and aim to bring anyone interested together to talk about what can be done to help wildlife locally.

We have been made aware of a potential Parking Charge Notice (PCN) scam text message going around which leads to a copycat government website.
Copycat websites aim to earn your trust by mimicking official organisations and known brands, often government bodies, transport companies or couriers.
Typically, these scams charge you a fee for something you can do for free or tell you you’ve done something wrong and need to pay a fine to avoid further payments or even legal action.
Please be advised that we will NOT notify residents of a PCN via text. A PCN will be either attached to your vehicle or sent to you via post. More information can be found on our website.
For your safety, avoid clicking on any links from unknown numbers. If you are ever unsure about the legitimacy of a text or letter, please contact us for confirmation.
If you believe you have been a victim of this scam, report the matter to Action Fraud or call 0300 123 2040.
