  • RIVER TEIGN ACTION PLAN JANUARY 1998 Foreword
    locafenvironment agency plan RIVER TEIGN ACTION PLAN JANUARY 1998 Foreword The integrated management of the environment is a fundamental philosophy for the Environment Agency with Local Environment Agency Plans (LEAPs) taking a key role in this approach. The River Teign Catchment covers a popular area of Devon including part of Dartmoor National Park and the South Devon Heritage Coast. The towns of Newton Abbot, Teignmouth and Torquay are important economic and tourist centres and it is important that the assets of the catchment are maintained and protected both now and for future generations to enjoy. It is vital that the needs of all uses of the area, including flora and fauna, are balanced to ensure continued protection of these precious assets. This Action Plan epitomises the Agency's commitment to protect and where necessary enhance the environment through the Agency's own actions or in association with other organisations. We are very grateful for the contributions made during the consultation period and are convinced that they represent the spirit of partnership that will be required to implement the plan.

Both of these seasons are times of preparation and renewal. In Lent we draw closer to God, learning more about him and preparing to celebrate the joy of Easter Day and all that Jesus has done for us. And Spring is the natural season of renewal when we welcome the longer days and the opportunity to get back outside and nurture our gardens back to new life.

They relate to the same geographical area covered both by the early reports and The Birds of Dartmoor (Smaldon 2005). This comprises the area within the Dartmoor National Park Authority (DNPA) boundary, with the addition of the china clay districts around Lee Moor, Shaugh Moor and Crownhill Down, left out of the National Park designation for political and business reasons. The bulk of the 2019 report comprises species accounts, and supporting appendices summarizing data on water birds, woodland surveys and a parish survey. It also includes an updated summary of current Dartmoor bird projects and surveys (Appendix 4), following on from the more detailed review in Freshney & Reay 2020.
