Slapton Ley Research Seminar, 15 November 2025

One of the undoubted highlights of autumn in the South Hams is the annual Slapton Ley Research Seminar, which this year takes place on Saturday 15 November, starting at 10am. Regular visitors will not need reminding, but for those who haven’t been before, this in an unmissable occasion for everyone who has an interest in the environment and the natural world: the opportunity to listen to leading researchers, often experts in their field, discussing their work in an informal setting, with the chance to ask questions and really get inside the research being done in a local context. This year’s keynote speakers are Tracey Hamston from The Wildlife Trust, who will be discussing the Two Moors Pine Marten Project; and Rebecca Wrigley, founder and Chief Executive of Rewilding Britain. A delicious vegetarian lunch is provided for attendees, and best of all, the event is completely free of charge!
