Working for a sustainable future in Penwith

LOCAL FOOD SUCCESS!

PEN have been awarded a grant from Local Food to create Penwith Edible Forest; a mixture of fruit trees and shrubs planted to mimic forest layers with the aim to maximise fruit yield, be low maintenance and have maximum wildlife value. PEN is hosting practical courses in all aspects of forest gardening over the next two years see our activities page for more information.

Help plant and care for the forest and in return you can have share of the harvest. 

PEN is a registered charity (no. 295087) with the objective “to promote the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment, and to educate and inform the public and others in all related matters.”

PEN has had many differing faces over the years, set up in 1984; it became a charity in 1987. Originally it was known as Penwith Green Centre and for many years it ran an open centre for the public to access information about environmental issues in Penwith. The charity has gradually evolved into a network promoting environmental issues in a local context. Increasing environmental awareness through education and networking with other groups in Penwith, and further a field, is the intention of PEN.

The main body of PEN’s work is centred on the Edible Forest, wildlife meadow and community garden at Love Lane, Badger's Garden CSA and managing Millennium Woods.
