What the charity does
The Devon Rural Skills Trust is a charity dedicated to safeguarding crafts practiced in Rural Devon. Crafts such as Hedgelaying, Drystone walling etc. We do this by offering courses to the public, running a training scheme that allows young people to learn these crafts allowing them to gain employment with these crafts, and by attending public events to educate the public on Devon's Heritage.
