    Cornwall Beaver Project Guided Walk - Individuals and families - Cornwall Wildlife Trust

    Take a walk around our unique reserve to see what the beavers have been building, including their dams and the first lodge in Cornwall in over 400 years!

    Join us for a guided walk around the reserve and then relax in this tranquil place at dusk to (hopefully) see and hear the beavers in action.

    During the two hour visit, we’ll show you how busy the beavers have been and teach you about their fantastic way of life as ecosystem engineers! Before the walk around the enclosure, there will be a talk to learn more about beavers. The walks will take place in the evening to ensure that you get the best opportunity to see the beavers. The animals are becoming more secretive so a sighting isn’t guaranteed.

    Cornwall Beaver Project Guided Walk - Individuals and families - Cornwall Wildlife Trust

    Take a walk around our unique reserve to see what the beavers have been building, including their dams and the first lodge in Cornwall in over 400 years!

    Join us for a guided walk around the reserve and then relax in this tranquil place at dusk to (hopefully) see and hear the beavers in action.

    During the two hour visit, we’ll show you how busy the beavers have been and teach you about their fantastic way of life as ecosystem engineers! Before the walk around the enclosure, there will be a talk to learn more about beavers. The walks will take place in the evening to ensure that you get the best opportunity to see the beavers. The animals are becoming more secretive so a sighting isn’t guaranteed.

  • Cornwall Wildlife Trust

    BBQ & Beavers - Cornwall Wildlife Trust

    Take a walk around our unique reserve to see what the beavers have been building, including their dams and the first lodge in Cornwall in over 400 years!

    Join us for a delicious barbecue, featuring locally sourced food and drinks, before a guided walk around the reserve and then relax in this tranquil place at dusk to (hopefully) see and hear the beavers in action.

    During the four hour visit, after your meal, we’ll show you how busy the beavers have been and teach you about their fantastic way of life as ecosystem engineers! Before the walk around the enclosure, there will be a talk to learn more about beavers. The walks will take place in the evening to ensure that you get the best opportunity to see the beavers. The animals are becoming more secretive so a sighting isn’t guaranteed.

    Quest for the Lost Words - Wheal Martyn Clay Works

    Once upon a time, words began to vanish from the language of children, slipping away like water on stone... 

    Dandelion gone!

A reminder that every word - and every species - matters.
