A Dawlish farmer who may have to sell part of his land to Teignbridge Council has won the support of TV wildlife presenter Chris Packham.
The council's legally required to create a new country park to offset the impact of hundreds of new homes.
But Richard Weeks' supporters say other sites are more suitable. Nearly 4,000 people have signed petitions asking the Secretary of State to intervene.
Chris Packham has wished them luck on Twitter.
