We also manage areas to promote biodiversity of animal and plantlife, by planting native species where of benefit and carefully maintaining ‘wild’ areas.

We also have our own private access to a public footpath which runs past the Carn Moor Nature Reserve and Conservation Area nearby. This is an area classified by the Cornwall Wildlife Trust as “an important flowering heathland and wetland”, part of the Tywarnhayle Common.The short walk is described by DEFRA: as one “which supports the insectivorous Round Leaved Sundew, Fragment Orchid, Royal Fern and other rare plants such as Dorset Heath (Erica Ciliaris).” Nearby there is also an “excellent area of drier heath, also rich in wildlife and flora”.
