#Lifton #rewilding project breeds success

By Guy Boswell, 8th Feb 2025

"You do not expect #stork to be standing in a #WestDevon field, but the striking white birds are there in force.

"They are among several #endangered native species which are part of a project at Lifton, near #Broadwoodwidger, which returns birds and animals to the wild.

"The idea is to increase #biodiversity and enrich wildlife on rural land which is largely barren of animals and the food chain which supports them.

"Derek Gow runs the project under his business the Derek Gow Consultancy which specialises in water vole conservation, surveys, breeding and reintroduction and mitigation – among other protected British mammals and reptiles. He works with clients on the ethical mitigation of developments."
