Current Projects

There are a number of current projects:

Hedging improvement for wildlife

We are improving the hedging in the byes to create wildlife corridors that provide an improved diverse ecological habitat .

Bat Recording

The Friends of the Byes took part in the The Devon Bat Survey 2025 which aims to give people across Devon the opportunity to find out which bats are active near them, and to contribute that data to the county’s species database held by the Devon Biodiversity Records Centre (DBRC), where it will be used to inform research and conservation activities. Six species of bat were recorded in the Byes

General Maintenance

There are constant maintenance tasks required in the Byes. Currently we are replacing rotting fence posts and benches.

Mapping

We are undertaking a thorough mapping of all the ecological assets that make up the Byes.
