The OVA is a civic society that seeks to support and protect the lower Otter Valley. We aim to protect the heritage, history and architecture of our villages and countryside. We focus on the natural environment around us - including the quality of the River Otter as well as the flora, fauna and fungi across our beaches, estuaries, heathlands and villages. We organise talks, guided walks and events. We have working groups focusing on areas such as the Natural Environment, Water Quality and History. We publish a quarterly printed newsletter and having a growing and dynamic community of supporters on Facebook and social media.
Anyone who is interested in the Otter Valley may join, wherever they live.
