We’re taking action to encourage even more wildlife to our vegetable growing site at Treraven Farm, Wadebridge.

The growing team had great fun unpacking the bird and bat boxes supplied by Sustainable Food Cornwall‘s Joining the Dots for Nature scheme.

At the same time our volunteers have begun creating a natural pond to attract a feast of different plants, insects, larvae, toads, newts and other freshwater life.

The improvements are all part of a nature recovery plan for our no-dig veg site carried out by Cornwall Wildlife Trust on behalf of Joining the Dots.

We’re one of 15 community growing schemes in or near the Cornwall National Landscape chosen to take part in the initiative with funding from the Farming in Protected Landscapes (FiPL) programme.

We’ll be doing plenty more exciting nature-friendly things over the next few weeks so make sure you watch this space!

If you’d like to take part in any of these activities, please get in touch. If you know anyone else who might be interested, please share these details with them.
