Cornwall Wildlife Trust
Cornwall Wildlife Trust believes in a wilder future for Cornwall, where our wildlife and wild places are cherished for all to enjoy. With the support of our members, we implement projects on land and at sea, conducting campaigns and managing wild spaces to ensure nature in Cornwall thrives for future generations.
We want our nature reserves to reverberate with the joyful sounds of wildlife, to be havens in which rare species flourish and colourful plants thrive.
But we’re not just concerned about the space within those boundaries – this work spills out from natures reserves into our conservation on land. We want Cornwall’s hedgerows & heathlands, footpaths & farmlands, wildflower meadows & woodlands to burst with wildlife. We want to ensure badgers are vaccinated, to help beavers create new habitats, to make a hole for every hedgehog, and to see choughs remain on our cliffs as well as our crest.
Bigger and better wildlife sites are needed – and they must be more joined up with one another. The bigger a site is for wildlife, the more it gives habitats and species opportunities to expand. It gives them more protection. They also need to be better: the habitat must be as good as it possibly can be. Finally, they must be joined up through the enhanced connections of wildlife corridors. In short, we need to create a joined-up network for bigger and better wildlife sites.
