It’s the weekend! 😀 Dartmoor ponies, feeling the heat a bit so they’re enjoying the Lilly pond 🐴🪷🪷 #Dartmoor #visitdartmoor #villagelife #rarebreed #native #devonlife #ponies #dartmoorponies

🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 Let's make this viral - hedgehogs are dying of dehydration - please please share this post and offer some shallow bowls of water for wildlife (pop a few pebbles in to make sure insects that fall in can escape) 🦔 💧 🎥 Paul Bunyard

We thought you might appreciate these cooling river sounds from Lydford Gorge today 😊 #NationalTrustDartmoor #StayCool

You may recognise the iconic 'leaning chimney' of Wheal Betsy, the last remaining industrial mining building on Dartmoor. #HereForCulture

We wish it wasn't the case but some dog owners are responsible for their #dogs attacking #livestock. These incidents are #preventable. Why take the risk of getting a #CriminalRecord when you can be part of the solution and help #TakeTheLead near livestock?

Thank you to M&S for joining Aldi Stores UK and @Waitrose in stopping selling disposable BBQs. We have been battling a fire on Bolberry Down in Devon since the end of May that is believed to have started by a disposable BBQ. We hope other retailers will follow suit.

@dsfireupdates is asking you to help reduce the risk of wildfires during this hot and dry spell. Choose a picnic not a BBQ when you go out and about. #SandwichesAreSafer #ndevon

As the weekend approaches the #fire risk is extremely high on #Dartmoor & #Exmoor. Please do your bit in helping protect our National Parks UK: ✅️Follow all instructions of #Rangers & #EmergencyServices ❌No fires ❌No BBQs ❌No stoves ❌No discarding of cigarettes or bottles

Fingle Bridge looking very scenic in the sunshine. Thanks to Greig B for sharing this gorgeous summery photo with us. #NationalTrustDartmoor 📸

Good news for the High Brown Fritillary on Dartmoor National Park as annual monitoring shows the species is having an excellent year with strong numbers recorded at known locations as well as sightings at new or historically occupied sites. 📢🦋 Full story 👉 butrfli.es/3c4t9JC

Dry land = safe to drive on without causing damage to the fragile moor…. Long walk out if not with the load of heavy timber

At Lydford Gorge, after nearly two and a half years, the Devil's Cauldron has reopened 🎉 Well done to the team for all their hard work. #NationalTrustDartmoor #DevilsCauldron

If you're heading to Dartmoor this bank holiday, please help to keep it beautiful by following the countryside code, parking sensibly and taking your rubbish home with you. And pack a picnic as there is still a high fire risk on Dartmoor 🔥 #NationalTrustDartmoor #LoveDartmoor

It's the start of #NationalHedgerowWeek Did you know that a well-managed Devon hedge can support 2,000 species of animals and plants? (📷 Rob Wolton, Devon Hedge Group)

Remember, remember to check for hedgehogs this November! Hedgehogs often mistake bonfires for places to shelter, and many are injured or killed as a result. Always check before lighting and find more hedgehog-friendly bonfire tips here: buff.ly/3EQyMHl 📷 Tom Marshall
