Friends and Partners
We're in this together
At The Cove Discovery Project, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.
We are proud to work alongside a growing network of like-minded individuals, organisations, and community groups who share our commitment to protecting the marine environment and fostering a deeper connection with nature.
These friendships and partnerships enrich our projects, amplify our impact, and remind us that meaningful change is always a collective effort. From research collaborations and educational outreach to creative projects and local initiatives, we’re grateful to walk alongside these incredible allies.
Thank you for supporting our journey.
Protecting and restoring Devon's natural beauty by funding local nature-based solutions.

'Inspired to Learn, Inspired for Life'
We've partnered with Furzeham Primary School to create a series of workshops, presentations, field trips (to the cove) and fundraise create a relaxing garden space for the children at the school site. All our themes are around the cove and it's amazing biodiversity, encouraging children to get into the outdoors and learn through fun social science methods.
