Big news from Trewithen Estate 🌿 This June we’ll release more water voles to bolster last year’s reintroduction. Surveys confirm they’re still present in beaver-created habitat 🦫 We also caught a pine marten on camera 👀 Wild Kernow members - check your inbox soon!

After our recent pine marten camera trap footage, we’re surveying nearby woodlands in Cornwall. Camera traps & peanut butter lures help us identify sex and individuals from unique bib patterns, in this temporary, non-invasive survey. (Molly the dog was bribed away with biscuits!)

Super close up of some mallard ducklings we managed to film a couple of weeks ago!

Well we didn't expect this to turn up on our camera traps! This amazing footage of a wild pine marten was recorded whilst surveying for water voles, following the reintroduction last year, as part of the ongoing partnership between Kernow Conservation and Trewithen Estate.

Just a beautiful Heron in slow motion

We’ve been taking some time to review a year’s worth of camera trap footage, and this woodcock moment stood out immediately. Their camouflage is extraordinary, an adaptation to a life spent feeding among leaf litter at dawn and dusk!

We're not sorry.

We're so close! 96% of target, just 24 hours to go! Please donate if you can and/or share to help us cross the line! Donations matched up to £250 by the Aviva Community Fund! www.avivacommunityfund.co.uk/p/kernow-con...

🎥 A stoat investigates a water vole monitoring raft — a rare glimpse of this predator in the water. A sharp bird alarm at the end sends it racing back to shore. Wild Cornwall at its finest.

The Cirl Bunting is singing its way back into Cornwall’s story. Once gone, now reintroduced and thriving on the Roseland Peninsula — another conservation comeback alongside the return of the chough.

In August, Cornwall’s damp meadows and heaths glow with the purple blooms of Devil’s-bit scabious. It’s a late-season nectar lifeline for pollinators and the sole larval food plant for the rare marsh fritillary butterfly, whose larvae feed on its leaves throughout autumn and winter. 📸 tag us

Not the most flattering angle, but definitely one of the rarest we’ve filmed in Cornwall. Seen skulking through the undergrowth at Trelusback Foundation… can you guess the bird?

Yesterday we visited Woodland Valley Farm with some of our business members to see the incredible beaver habitat there. Beavers create wetlands, boost biodiversity, clean water, and reduce flood risk — all by doing what comes naturally.
