Dartmoor National Park Authority

Wealth of Wildlife businessess

The Wealth of Wildlife Project was funded by Dartmoor National Park Authority (DNPA) and is designed to raise awareness and encourage the enjoyment of wildlife on Dartmoor by visitors.

Fifty One businesses including accommodation providers, tourist attractions, activity centres, pubs and cafés, and the DNPA Visitor Centres were visited by an ecologist who surveyed the grounds and in some instances, the surrounding area, and produced a tailor-made folder of wildlife information for each establishment for their visitors to use.

A list of businesses which participated in the Project are listed below:
