The River Gara Water Vole Reintroduction Second Release

Project supported by South Devon National Landscape’s Farming in Protected Landscapes programme.


Thanks to a Farming in Protected Landscapes grant we have been able to complete the second of our four water voles releases into the River Gara on the 30th May. It was a really busy but successful day. There are now another 133 voles out in the wild busy digging homes, finding mates and hopefully soon producing litters of little volettes. Go to the:
