Volunteers being recruited to help restore and conserve the borough's biodiversity.

Volunteers are being sought for a scheme to introduce wildlife wardens in West Devon.

The project is being launched by West Devon Borough Council on 28 September at the authority’s office in Tavistock during an event from 10:30 to 15:00 BST in collaboration with Devon Wildlife Trust.

The council said work would be carried out through the scheme to improve habitats and monitor the borough’s ecology with the aim of protecting and increasing wildlife locally.
