'A gesture towards nature': call for Dartmoor's temperate rainforest to double in size

The Duchy of Cornwall plans to expand two key woodland pockets, saying, "Our ambition is to double the extent of duchy-managed Atlantic rainforest." This aligns with new government funding for habitat restoration.
