Welcome to
Life on the Edge…

The South Devon coast is home to one of the most diverse range of plant and invertebrate species in the UK, thanks to its warm climate, unique geology and long history of low-intensity farming. But many of these species are now in serious trouble, with some facing extinction.

 

These vulnerable and special species are holding on along a thin strip of coast, squeezed by the sea on one side and increasingly-intensive agriculture on the other.

Life on the Edge is a project that gives these species a lifeline to the future. A few strongholds survive, thanks to nature-friendly farming by visionary landowners and managers and we will support more people – farmers, gardeners, communities and businesses – to make more space for nature along the coast, targeting the needs of our rarest species with measures that also help our more common wildlife.

 

The result will be a coastline and its connected hinterland that is buzzing with wildlife, packed with wildflowers and a treat for the eye for residents and visitors alike.

 

Core to the project is involving people, helping them to reconnect to nature, refreshing their sense of wellbeing and empowering them to make a difference for nature.
