Volunteers are always welcome here to help with removal of invasive species. Contact us for current meeting times.Tree planting
200 trees are planted every alternate winter to improve age diversity in Crenver Grove, the 14 Hectare plantation we manage for the Dandelion Trust.
Children from a local environment club are taught how to plant trees using recycled tubes and cut stakes from the wood.
Trees are donated by the Cornwall Sustainable Energy Partnership to ‘carbon neutralise’ their biennial conference.
We offer a Carbon Offset Scheme – contact The Sustainable Trust for details.

Honey bees
The sustainability of the humble bee should be an inspiration to us all. With social and industrious neatness and precision, it constructs it's cells, secreting it's own housing made of wax and propolis.
The hexagonal cells ensure the greatest economy of material and space. Whilst extracting pollen, it fertilises flowers, using energy to the maximum efficiency.
