Cornwall Wildlife Trust

Cornwall is special and 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.

About Cornwall Wildlife Trust and their fantastic work...

• They are a registered charity, founded in 1962, and fulfill a unique role in the conservation of the countryside and in our seas.
• They care for 55 nature reserves throughout the whole county and, outside of the reserves, work hard with other environmental organisations and local authorities to encourage best practice for the environment.
• They are involved in the many aspects of conserving the county’s wildlife and wild places and seek to maintain and enhance important habitats that support many rare and endangered species.
• They raise awareness of the importance of wildlife through involvement and information.
• They organise a wide range of events open to all and run educational activities for schools and youth organizations.
• They run Fox Club, the junior branch of the Trust, for children who are just wild about wildlife.
• They support many wildlife and voluntary specialists working on a variety of projects.
• They believe that involving people is essential to the future of nature conservation in Cornwall.
