A £2.8 million appeal has been launched to buy and restore more than 100 hectares of temperate rainforest, as part of efforts to save the rare habitat.
The Woodland Trust is launching the appeal to secure Buckland Wood in Devon’s Dart Valley, an area home to some of the UK’s last remaining rainforests which are rich in lichens, moss and ferns, and wildlife including bats, otters and dormice.
