Cornwall is special...

People come to Cornwall for all sorts of reasons, but there’s one major attraction that draws more visitors than any other – Cornwall’s unspoilt natural environment.

As more and more of us choose to live and holiday here we place increasing pressure on the very things that attracted us in the first place including the natural environment and its wildlife. Consequently, we have joined and support Cornwall Wildlife Trust, and that's us on the right receiving our Corporate Members certificate.

Visitor Gifting Scheme for Cornwall Wildlife Trust

Many of you are visiting Cornwall for its amazing environment, wildlife and natural beauty. We can only look after Cornwall and keep it beautiful with the help of a number of organisations.

Cornwall Wildlife Trust is dedicated solely to the protection of wildlife and habitats across the whole of Cornwall, both on land and in our seas.

We would like to help you help them to continue their good work.

We have set up a voluntary visitor gifting scheme so that you can support them whilst enjoying your stay in this breathtaking county.

When you book your cottage with us please consider donating just £2-00 on your booking form. This will go directly to Cornwall Wildlife Trust to help them continue their fantastic work. It’s an opt out scheme which means we will collect the money unless you ask us not to.

Our Visitor Gifting Scheme has now been running since November 2008 and the generosity of our guests has raised £445 for Cornwall Wildlife Trust in just two years - we would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all those who have contributed. This has enabled the Trust to run three wildlife education sessions at a local Primary School and the rest was put towards three important wildlife projects: wetland conservation, farmland birds conservation and creating habitat for greater horseshoe bats. So, education of the young in an appreciation of wildlife and assisting in three high priority wildlife projects ... great result .. thank you!

If you enjoy Cornwall…please support Cornwall Wildlife Trust.

Thank you!
