Events and filming on DWT nature reserves
Devon Wildlife Trust’s nature reserves have been featured world-wide in TV series and feature films, they’ve also been the setting for many cultural and other events. No wonder: the 50+ wild spaces we look after contain some of the UK’s most dramatic scenery and awe-inspiring nature. If you are thinking of using one of our nature reserves for your event – large or small - for any commercial or charitable activity, then you must contact us first and seek permission.
