Prince William delighted royal watchers on Tuesday when he donned his country attire and made his way to Dartmoor to visit Wonderful Wistman's Wood, a natural space on the Duchy of Cornwall.
The space is set to be regenerated over the next 20 years, doubling the size to provide a home for rare species, according to the Instagram caption.
William inherited the job of overseeing the Duchy of Cornwall from his father King Charles, who ploughed his efforts into nurturing the estate, and fans were excited to see him follow in his father's footsteps.
"Nice to see you follow your father's footsteps in saving nature," one wrote, while another commented: "Great that his father's good work is continuing!" A third added: "He inherited his love of the earth and nature from his father," while a fourth wrote: "I feel like his dad really set him up for success!"

King Charles' eco efforts
King Charles has always been eco-conscious, looking after nature for as long as he's been in the public eye. He made his first speech on the subject aged 21 in 1970.
Since King Charles took over the management of the Sandringham Estate in 2017, he has implemented a number of sustainable measures.

Speaking to Country Life in a previous interview, Charles outlined the ethos behind his grand plans: "It has always seemed to me somewhat logical to embrace a farming system that works with nature and not against her."
Buckingham Palace is also undergoing modernisation works which will make the running of it more eco-friendly, including lowering the pool temperature.
King Charles is mindful of his vehicle emissions too. His car, an Aston Martin which he has owned for more than 50 years, runs on surplus English white wine and whey from the cheesemaking process, rather than petrol.
Talking about his car in 2021, Charles said: "My old Aston Martin, which I had for 51 years, that I managed to convert, that now runs on waste products. Can you believe this; it runs on surplus English white wine and whey from the cheese processes. I did that quite a long time ago."
We can't wait to see how else William follows in his father's eco footsteps
