 PEN is looking for volunteers to help create and manage wildlife sites in Penwith.

At 3 sites in Penwith, Millennium Woodland Lowarth Brogh and Love Lane Meadow Project, there are opportunities to learn woodland management skills while having fun and learning about Penwith’s unique wildlife. PEN is a small community group committed to increasing the areas of woodland for all in the Penzance area. At Love Lane we are creating an area of meadow alongside a woodland edge habitat by planting native wildflowers, small shrubs and trees to help increase food sources for the local the wildlife.

PEN would like to encourage the local community to not only participate in the projects but also to make them their own. It is hoped that through active involvement in creating space for nature we can increase our understanding and appreciation of the natural world. Current activities include planting trees and wildflowers, clearing scrub, creating paths, composting, photography, green wood working, in fact the scope is endless and we welcome people to come and help in anyway they feel inspired to. Members of the group include people with young children.

Families are welcome to come and participate. We are creating a woven willow play area and hope local children and adults will help to build it with us.
