Devon Wildlife Trust (DWT) has this month received double support from one of its top Corporate Supporters for conservation work around the County. Pipex px®, based in Roborough, Plymouth has pledged £6,000 to support two vital projects in the County. DWT's Warleigh Point nature reserve, near Tamerton Foliot will now be sponsored by Pipex px®. Also benefiting is DWT's landscape scale project, Working Wetlands via the alternative carbon offset scheme run by Devon Wildlife Trust. A cheque presentation was held at Warleigh Point, the nearest nature reserve to the company's headquarters and where a recent team from Pipex px® carried out a Corporate Volunteering Day which involved coppicing of areas of the woodland at the popular site. Devon Wildlife Trust's Corporate Relations Officer, Tracy Ebbrell said: "We are delighted to be receiving such a large amount in sponsorship from Pipex px® in such a difficult economic climate. The relationship with Pipex px® has gone from strength to strength over the past few years. It really demonstrates how the business community is still committed to the environment and keeping Devon a beautiful and healthy place to do business." Sarah Raynor from Pipex px® said: "Devon Wildlife Trust do fantastic work for our environment here in the South West, so we are really pleased to be in a position to contribute to their conservation efforts. Pipex px® get a lot of benefits from our association with DWT, the volunteering days are a great opportunity for us to get involved, enjoy the great outdoors and do some team building with colleagues, so we are thrilled to be able to continue our support."
