Christmas has come early for the animals at Devon based wildlife park, Dartmoor Zoological Society, following the successful charity prize draw at Exeter Chamber’s Exeter Business Dinner in November.
The guest speaker this year was Benjamin Mee, who in 2006, discovered Dartmoor Wildlife Park which at the time was in severe financial hardship. Benjamin and his family stepped forward to save the animals and the zoo, starting a year-long struggle to get the zoo ready to re-open. They achieved this in 2007, under the new name of Dartmoor Zoological Park and in 2008, Benjamin published...
The owners of a £2.3m Devon mansion being offered as a competition prize have scattered 888,246 poppies around their home as part of a Remembrance Day tribute.
Silhouettes of World War I soldiers have also been placed in the grounds of the property.
The number of poppies is equivalent to the number of British and Commonwealth servicemen killed in the conflict, most of them in the mud and horror of the fields in Flanders.
And a huge Remembrance drape now adorns the house which is the star attraction of the competition.
Citizens don’t often think about resource constraints when they vote or think about the kind of society they want to live in. Many want free education and healthcare, security, high incomes, low taxes, a clean environment, and affordable housing. However, resource constraints mean that societies need to prioritise their focus areas. And citizens’ opinions have become an increasingly relevant policy input as governments seek to restore trust in institutions and better serve their populations.

Great Western Railway marked 100 years since the end of the Great War with a special ceremony to commemorate the 2,545 railway workers who were lost in battle.

Exeter City fell to a 3-2 defeat in the first round of the Emirates FA Cup against Blackpool.
Three first-half goals for the Tangerines gave the visitors what proved to be an unassailable lead at St James Park, despite a phenomenal effort from the Grecians in the second-half that left them a goal short of what would have been an incredible second-half comeback.
Matt Taylor made changes to last week’s starting XI in response to the sheer number of injuries the Grecians are struggling with at the moment, and fielded a very youthful bench to complement a side bereft of some...
This is the extraordinary moment the hatching of a rare Mauritius pink pigeon chick was caught on video – and the moment the hard work started in earnest for Paignton Zoo bird keeper Tom Tooley.
Senior Bird Keeper Tom is currently 6,000 miles away on the island of Mauritius. But if you think he’s dodged the English winter to relax on a tropical island, think again.
He’s spending time with local conservationists to help bolster the population of this bird, classed as an Endangered Species. That means hand rearing – and THAT means long days: “The first feed is at 6.00am, then...
