Here at Woodland Valley the woodlands, hedges, and meadows are as much a haven for wildlife as they have ever been.
Working in partnership with Cornwall Wildlife Trust we are particularly proud that this is more so in recent years due to the rewilding of the beavers.
Careful management has ensured that healthy populations of a number of red-listed bird species can still to be found and continue to visit here.
There is also a wide range of mammals that make their homes on the farm. Among them are Bats, Otters, Badgers, Roe Deer, Amphibians, Reptiles and Invertebrates.
The farm and woodland walks will take you through all the various habitats and give you an excellent chance of seeing some of the wildlife.
We are very keen for visitors to record their observations, which we then submit to the Environmental Records Centre for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly (ERCCIS).
Restoration of old ponds is planned and there is an on-going programme of providing bird and bat boxes around the farm. We have assembled lists of plants, birds and mammals and are currently working on invertebrate lists.
