Trees felled at a national park in Devon during Storm Darragh are helping support insects, conservationists have said.

Exmoor National Park Authority said the storm - which brought winds of up to 88mph (142km/h) in December - caused "significant damage and disruption" to the park.

However, senior woodland officer Graeme McVittie said the "silver lining" was dead wood could help improve Exmoor's ecosystem and the park was strategically cutting certain trees to help support wildlife.
