Wistman's Wood, part of Duchy of Cornwall expansion to double size of ancient temperate rainforest.The Duchy of Cornwall is working in partnership with Natural England, Moor Trees, the Woodland Trust and tenant farmers to expand one of the South West's last remaining examples of temperate rainforest – Wistman's Wood National Nature Reserve on Dartmoor.Last week, a group of volunteers joined forces to plant 450 Wistman's Wood provenance saplings and install protective guards around naturally regenerated trees, helping to recreate a resilient temperate rainforest for future generations. Temperate rainforests are globally rare habitats with 90% lost since the Bronze age, resulting in only 8% remaining in Devon and Cornwall.These are the first trees planted since the Duchy of Cornwall announced plans to double the size of the Wood in July 2023. The newly planted trees will be established both in small groups and in a newly fenced area, with the long-term ambition to form a ‘mirror image' of Wistman's Wood., Credit:Charles Sainsbury-Plaice / Avalon
