FROM CORNWALL WILDLIFE TRUST - AN AWARD FOR TEMPERATE RAIN FOREST SONSERVATION
National climate award winners
Dear John
We’re delighted to share some exciting with you. Our temperate rainforest restoration project has won a national climate award, in tough competition from across the UK!
After a nomination from South East Cornwall MP Anna Gelderd, the project was selected as a winner of ‘The Pride in Our Planet Awards’, by an independent judging panel chaired by Climate Minister Katie White MP.
Read the full story
This award highlights the importance of temperate rainforest, one of the UK’s rarest and most often overlooked habitats, with only around 1% remaining today.
Thanks to your support, we’re restoring rainforest right here in Cornwall. This year has already seen us plant nearly 5,000 native trees at West Muchlarnick, working alongside volunteers, local schools, community groups, and businesses. And this is just the beginning.
Over time, the project is expected to capture around 10,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, alongside so many other benefits like improving habitat for wildlife, supporting communities, and increasing resilience to climate change.
And we can’t do any of this without your support, so thank you for being part of our journey.
From all the team,
Cornwall Wildlife Trust
