#dartingtonhalltrust
I'm horrified to hear that after killing #SchumacherCollege (my blog post about that here: https://www.darkoptimism.org/2024/08/31/death-and-rebirth-farewell-dear-schumacher-college-hello-new-friends/ ) the #DartingtonHallTrust is now looking to evict #MartinCrawford and uproot the finest forest garden in the temperate world; a place that was a personal inspiration to #MarkBoyle and me.
Needless to say, such places cannot quickly be moved or restored.

Save the #DartingtonForestGarden
This page is dedicated to our fight against our landlord’s (#DartingtonHallTrust) decision to evict us from our 31-year-old #ForestGarden in #Dartington, #DevonUK. Here you’ll find latest updates and press releases, and also your tributes to the forest garden and what it means to you, and why it should be preserved.
Update Sun 16 March 2025
"Morning to all our wonderful supporters!
"The petition to save our forest garden has gathered over 7,500 signatures in two days which is AMAZING.
"I think our landlords DHT may have been surprised and shocked both by the level of support and by the passion shown, so thank you all again.
"Before we went public, we did in fact write to CEO Robert Fedder at DHT a week ago, explaining why the forest garden was such an important resource, and asking them to retract their notice to quit. We also told him that there would be considerable public support and inevitable bad PR for them. Clearly DHT didn’t want a sensible dialogue at that time ….
"Our focus now is persuading DHT to sell the forest garden site to us. We know there are supporters out there itching to get crowdfunding so anyone with good experience of this please get in touch – we may need you!
"We heard a report that someone shouted abuse at Dartington staff yesterday. Please don’t. DHT front line staff are not responsible for DHT decisions.
"We are so touched by all the messages of support, this really means a lot so thanks again everyone."

One of the oldest and most important forest gardens in Europe, 31-year old project stewarded by pioneer Martin Crawford, is threatened to end this year by a change in the leadership of the trust they've leased the land with. This place is invaluable and telling them to end the lease is ecological vandalism https://substack.com/home/post/p-159120584 #ForestGarden #DartingtonHallTrust #MartinCrawford
