'Incineration, a Waste of a Waste' - a talk by Peter Brooks: "In 2009 Viridor proposed building a waste incinerator in the ancient woodland at New England, just south of Ivybridge and to use the quarry, that drains

into the River Yealm, as a landfill site for the resulting waste products.  This talk explains in some detail how we deal with our mounting waste problems and how we campaigned to preserve the ancient woodland as

a vital local nature reserve for the community, now under the management of the Devon Wildlife Trust".
