Dartmoor's Dynamic Landscapes

Dartmoor's Dynamic Landscapes

Dartmoor’s Dynamic Landscapes is a partnership programme with an exciting vision to empower more people to care for Dartmoor and sustain more naturally resilient landscapes, that are better understood and celebrated.

Who are we?

Dartmoor's Dynamic Landscapes is a partnership bringing the National Park Authority together with Dartmoor Hill Farm Project, Emergency Exit Arts, the Dartmoor Headwaters Project, RSPB, Shallowford Farm Trust, the South West Peatland Partnership, Walk Wheel Cycle Trust (formerly Sustrans), Westcountry Rivers Trust and the Woodland Trust.

The partnership has a landscape focus on Dartmoor’s river catchments of the Okement, the Dart and the Erme & Yealm. These contain some of Dartmoor's best places: moorland bogs, flower rich grassland & wetland, wooded valleys, riverside and moorland settlements that act as ‘gateways’ to the National Park. The programme has a particular focus on the communities of Okehampton, Princetown and Ivybridge.

Following development work, we were thrilled to be awarded more than £3.1million grant funding by The National Lottery Heritage Fund to deliver our aims from 2025 to 2030.
