ANOTHER POST FROM CORNWALL WILDLIFE TRUST — THEY ARE UNDERTAKING GREAT WORK

View this email in your browser Dear John I wanted to follow up after my recent email to share how your support is helping Cornwall’s wildlife enter a hopeful new chapter. Across our nature reserves, we’re already seeing signs of recovery: wetlands are coming back to life, young woodland is settling in, seagrass meadows are being restored, and the return of creatures long missing from Cornwall is beginning to reshape our countryside in extraordinary ways. And this is just the start. This week, we launched Tor to Shore: Cornwall’s largest and most ambitious nature recovery project. It’s a bold, long-term vision to create a thriving, connected landscape running from the granite heights of Helman Tor all the way to the calm waters of St Austell Bay. By linking habitats and restoring ecosystems, we can give wildlife the space it needs to thrive for generations to come. And Tor to Shore is just the beginning. The additional 150 acres we took on in recent years at Bartinney and Helman Tor mark an early step toward a bigger, better connected Cornwall — one where nature is stronger, more resilient, and ready to recover at scale. Caring for the land already under our protection is just as important as the ambitious steps ahead. But as I mentioned in my email, rising costs are making this more challenging. Each acre of our nature reserves now costs around £10.80 a month to care for — vital habitats that Cornwall’s wildlife relies on every single day. That’s why I’m writing to you today. You already give £3.50 each month, and your generosity means so much. If you feel able to increase your membership — even by a small amount — it would help us meet rising costs and keep driving forward these big, ambitious plans for a wilder Cornwall. Increase my membership gift Thank you so much for continuing your membership after recent rate changes — your loyalty means a great deal. If it feels manageable, a small optional increase would help strengthen the work you already make possible for Cornwall’s wildlife. And if now isn’t the right time for you to increase your gift, please know your support already means the world to us. You are part of every acre we protect, every habitat we restore, and every ambitious step we take. Thank you — truly — for standing with us, not just for nature today, but for the wilder Cornwall we’re working towards for tomorrow. With warmest thanks, Callum Deveney Director of Nature Recovery Cornwall Wildlife Trust P.S. If you increased your membership in response to our recent letter or email, thank you — your extra support is already helping power this work, and we’re so grateful.
