Cornish hedges are marvellous things! Earthen banks covered in stones, sometimes ancient in origin, they not only act as boundaries and protection, but are biodiverse havens and corridors for wildlife. Check out information on Cornish hedges and the work to protect them undertaken by our partners at Cornwall National Landscape (https://bit.ly/49FZBwI). You could also head over to The Cornish Hedges Library at https://www.cornishhedges.co.uk for a wealth of online information

🦋 Welcome the new year in by helping nature in your area - come and collect your FREE tree from St.John's Hall in Penzance on 17th January.

🌳 You can choose from rowan, crab apple, hawthorn, hazel, guelder rose, or dogwood. Each tree comes with an information card that’ll give you all the details on planting and maintaining your tree so that it establishes well.

🌟Trees bring huge benefits to where you live – these include cleaner air, shade in hot summers and shelter from the wind and rain, as well as reducing the risk of flooding.

🐦Planting a tree helps create ‘green corridors’ that provide homes for birds, insects and animals, and allow them to move between gardens, local parks, green spaces and the surrounding countryside, boosting nature recovery everywhere.

Events have already been held this winter in Callington, Torpoint, Helston, Tintagel, Newquay, Camborne and Saltash and we will be holding more free tree giveaways in January and February in Perranporth, Bodmin, Redruth, Truro and St. Austell.

👀Keep an eye on our social media for more details, or go to the News & Events page on our website www.cornwall.gov.uk/forestforcornwall

Remember to bring a bag to take your tree home in!

💚 2025 has been a year of excellent nature recovery activity!

Are you inspired to take some nature recovery action? It can be anything from planting a tree to joining a local beach clean, join us and make your Pledge for Nature!

🎄 12 Wins of Christmas PART THREE - showcasing wins for nature recovery across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly in 2025 🎄

🎁 This year saw earnest work in local politics to support nature, from Voices of Water and Clean Ocean Sailing campaigning for the rights of water (an idea echoed by LNP Board Member Councillor Loic Rich in his vision of nature in 5 years time – read this in our autumn newsletter, link below), to Cornwall Council approving a voluntary ban on flying rings due to their risk of damaging marine life if (or when) they end up in the sea.

🐟 Bluefin Tuna are returning to UK waters, and a research initiative by The University of Exeter's Environment and Sustainability Institute, Devon Environment Foundation, Marine Management Organisation - MMO, Blue Marine Foundation and the Bluefin Tuna fishing sector is discovering what Bluefin Tuna’s diet is and how they can be supported. ‘Feeding The Comeback’ is one of more than 25 fantastic local projects match-funded by the Climate and Nature Crowdfunder this year. On average, every £1 pledge from the council has led to raising £3 from the crowd!

🎄 Welcome back for 12 Wins of Christmas PART TWO - showcasing wins for nature recovery across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly in 2025 🎄

🦫 Beavers are amazing ‘ecosystem engineers’. This means that they create wetland habitat for themselves and other wildlife by making dams using trees and branches. Reintroducing Beavers in the right places (or mimicking their natural behaviours) in discussion with local communities is a recommended action in the Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Nature Recovery Strategy.

🪸 Maerl is an under-appreciated coral-like seaweed that has amazing biodiversity and carbon impacts. Cornwall has nationally significant Maerl beds that are up to 4,000 years old!

🌳 Landowners, organisations and communities across Cornwall can be proud of their tree planting contributions - 1.7 million trees since 2020! The Forest for Cornwall team play a key role in supporting stakeholders throughout the whole process, becoming a national flagship model for delivery of planting - especially for local agroforestry (using trees to support agricultural production).

🎄 Welcome to 12 Wins of Christmas PART ONE - showcasing wins for nature recovery across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly in 2025. There is much to celebrate! 🎄

🎁 2025 saw increasing Chough numbers, publication of the Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Nature Recovery Strategy (the 3rd of 48 across the country to be completed) and a first-of-its-kind Marine Nature Recovery Framework.

🏞️ Landscape-scale projects like Cornwall Wildlife Trust’s Tor to Shore continue to deliver ambitious habitat restoration that species like Choughs need to thrive, working with the community to support changes across land and sea.
