Return of the Pine Marten appeal
Donations to the Return of the Pine Marten appeal will support the Two Moors Pine Marten Project, bringing back this lost native mammal to the woods of Dartmoor and Exmoor. Donations will support the essential ecological surveys and community work required to ensure the safe return of the pine marten before the first releases can be made in 2024. Project partners National Trust, Woodland Trust and Dartmoor and Exmoor National Park Authorities have together pledged £70,000 in funding - but only if DWT can raise at least £20,700 from this appeal. That means every £20 donated is worth almost £90 for pine martens.
