From frosty moorlands to the wild coastlines alive with big waves and wintering birds, nature’s festivities are in full swing. Whether you're marvelling at the starlit skies or spotting winter wildlife, there's much to celebrate and enjoy this season. We are incredibly grateful for your continued support, which plays a vital role in protecting Cornwall’s wildlife and wild places. Restore a temperate rainforest Did you know that just £6 can support the temperate rainforest appeal?! For the same price as a coffee and a cake, a meal deal, or a glass of wine, £6 could help plant 3 trees and move us one step closer to a future Cornwall where nature thrives. A huge thank you to those who have already donated - we’re now just over £8000 away from target to kickstart temperate rainforest restoration in West Muchlarnick, near Looe. Can you help close the gap?  Donate this Christmas Last minutes gifts and stocking fillers From cards and calendars, to clothing and homeware, make sure your gifts do good this Christmas.

With the launch of our 2030 Strategy for Nature Recovery, we’ve set ambitious goals to create a thriving Cornwall where wildlife and wild places are valued and enjoyed by all. 4 main objectives  🌱 Inspire through action: Demonstrate what’s possible with conservation on the ground. 🌱 Advise and support: Help others reduce pressures on nature and create positive outcomes. 🌱 Engage and mobilise: Encourage individuals and groups to lead or join practical action. 🌱 Advocate for change: Use our collective voice to push for better decisions for nature. We can't do this alone, which is why we've set a target of 100,000 people taking meaningful action for nature by 2030. We'd love for you to settle down and spend some time reading our impact review and learning about everything that has been achieved so far with your support. This is our call to action, because everyone has a role in delivering a future Cornwall, where our landscapes and seas are alive with the sights and sounds of wildlife.
