About us
Our Mission Statement: To protect land, conserve nature and strengthen the bonds between
people and the natural world of Torbay
Our Aims & Objectives:
Our primary concern is to protect land, buildings and natural resources that are of importance to the community of Torbay and the many visitors to the area. Our charitable objectives provide a strong basis for this work and ensure that we maintain this theme in all that we do. The Trust is essentially a land management organisation and our expertise is in maintaining the environment to a high standard.
We believe that a high quality environment plays an essential part in the community and in raising people's quality of life. We recognise that social and economic improvements are often closely linked to environmental improvements and we are keen to develop these links further.
We know that improving people's physical and intellectual access to the natural world is an important task for us, since it is mainly through experiencing and understanding nature that people come to recognise the need to protect it.
Torbay has an unusually diverse and nationally important natural environment that is interleaved with a largely urban community and sustains a vigorous tourist industry. We believe that the Trust has a unique opportunity, given the nature of the land for which it cares and the community that it serves, to establish and demonstrate a more sustainable and richer relationship between people and their environment.
