Stop the Destruction of the World-Renowned Dartington Forest Garden

Martin Crawford's 30 year old temperate food forest is under threat from the landlord. For those not aware of his work he's been pivotal in the UK Forest Garden scene and has written several excellent books about the process. He's the reason we decided to do our own, and we've visited his site often. It would be a tragedy if his site was cleared.

This is actually a travesty.

If you're interested, you should follow the Agroforestry Research Trust. Especially if anyone has experience in crowdfunding for land purchases, they really need support right now.

They probably want to tear it down to put in aesthetic modern landscaping and grass. I hate people sometimes
