Welcome to the Steward Community Woodland website
The 'Morefood' Community Garden Project needs your support
MoreFood is a new local food growing initiative and community garden at Steward Wood near Moretonhampstead, which is likely to receive funding from the Local Food Grant (Lottery funded). We have applied for planning permission from Dartmoor National Park Authority for an Interpretation Centre, Polytunnel, and wheelchair-accessible Compost Toilet. MoreFood needs your support in order for the application to be successful.
You can register support for the planning application on the Dartmoor National Park website (dartmoor-npa.gov.uk/planning) or by writing a letter to the case officer, Louise Smith.
You will need to quote the reference 0207/12. More info at: morefood.org.uk
We are Steward Community Woodland, a group of people who are living and working together and have been experimenting with...
- permaculture food growing and land use
- community dynamics
- renewable energy and appropriate technology
- building our own dwellings using low-impact materials
- small-scale woodland management
- experiential and home education
We live on 32 acres of plantation woodland on a steep hillside, located in the beautiful Wray Valley on the edge of Dartmoor. The community was founded in 2000 and is currently twelve adults and nine children.
There are several ways you can arrange a visit...
Volunteering – most of our visitors initially come as volunteers, exchanging volunteer time for food and accommodation. This is open to anyone; prior booking is essential.
Group visits – we are visited regularly by groups (for example, students and young people). Please get in touch if your group would like to see the project.
Come to our Open Day on Sat 16th June 2012 (Noon to 4pm).
