During the fifth year of operation, ParkLife SW continued to expand its work with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds, with thousands of hours of community volunteer time contributing to local environmental projects. A combination of a post-Covid desire to be participating in out-door activities, and in response to the climate and biodiversity emergencies, volunteers have joined in with tree and hedge planting and other nature conservation projects. This included tree planting carried out through the ParkLife-led DCC Local Authority Treescapes Fund, with volunteers joining projects in north, south, east and west Devon in planting 10,000 trees. ParkLife has continued to support volunteer activity at the Woodland Trust’s new woodland creation project, Yonder Oak Wood, near Woodbury in East Devon. ParkLife also linked up with the Woodland Trust by coordinating the community and educational elements of the Dartmoor Ancient Tree Hunt, part of the NHLF funded Dartmoor’s Dynamic Landscape Pro-ject. ParkLife led 12 events with schools, hard to reach groups and the general public to collect seeds from Dartmoor woodlands, with a view to growing them on in tree nurseries. ParkLife has also worked with the National Trust at its Wembury Barton woodland creation project, supported by the Plymouth & South Devon Community Forest, coordinating local schools and other community groups who visited the site to plant trees and hedgerows. Elsewhere, ParkLife SW has continued to plant traditional orchards, carry out pond restoration, work on a larger number of wildflower meadow creation and management projects, and also run and attend community events. Community groups and individual volunteers have joined in with these projects in good numbers. During 2023/24, new projects for ParkLife included leading the EA funded Yealm Erme Spe-cies Survival (YESS) scheme, developed in partnership with the community, and targeting non-farming landowners to organise schemes to improve water quality in the Yealm & Erme catchments, and enhance landscapes and biodiversity as well. In autumn 2024, ParkLife was also engaged by the Dart Saltmarsh Project to lead the restora-tion work on saltmarshes on the River Dart south of Totnes, working with local volunteers to create brushwood bundles which were then installed within the eroded marshes to help con-serve the fragile habitat. ParkLife has maintained a team of 7 or 8 project officers through the year which means that we can help support the community in more ways. More tools and other equipment have been acquired for use by staff and volunteers who join in with a wide range of conservation projects. ParkLife SW continues to support local groups with grant funding applications, assisting them with the process and therefore helping to take their ideas through to delivery on the ground, supporting each step through planning, consultation, funding to promotion and delivery on the ground. Over the next year ParkLife SW will continue to increase these types of events, planting more trees, conserving and enhancing more habitats and supporting more volunteer groups whilst working with new network partners.
ParkLife engages with community groups, parish councils, conservation organisations, green groups on many levels, ensuring that we listen to local voices when designing conservation schemes, and attending stakeholder meetings where appropriate. More formally, ParkLife uses online survey tools to gauge the views of communities. This is particularly useful when consulting on a proposal for a new facility, like a community orchard or nature reserve. The feedback received from such consultations has helped shaped plans and support grant funding applications.
The total remuneration paid to Directors in the year was £81,246. No Director earned more than £60,000.
