Penwith Landscape Partnership

Today our work draws to a close. Our proudest achievement is connecting a strong community of people who will protect the landscape for years to come. From all the PLP team, thank you so much for your support – it’s meant the world to us. #LovePenwith #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

Remember you will be able to visit our PLEN interactive portal, where you can connect to Penwith’s landscape from home, so more people can enjoy the health benefits of spending time in nature and heritage! penwithlandscape.com/360/virtual-la… #LovePenwith #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

Our volunteers have uncovered ancient sites and pathways, supported conservation, protected Cornish hedges, and improved our use of the Cornish language and folktales – and that’s only part of it! You’ve all been amazing – thank you! #LovePenwith #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

We’re thrilled to have inspired the next generation of conservationists, by recruiting young passionate volunteers to care for the land and supporting pre-apprenticeship training in traditional crafts. We hope you continue to #LovePenwith! #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

As we enter our final week, we’ll be sharing some of the legacy of the community around the PLP. We can’t thank our volunteers, funders including #NationalLotteryHeritageFund, partners, and everyone who has supported our work enough. Share your memories by using #LovePenwith!

Helping to manage our access paths and ancient sites has always depended on the help and support of their local community. If you’re curious how to report issues or make queries in the future visit penwithlandscape.com/trails-and-anc… #LovePenwith #ancientsites #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

Our website is a digital hub you can visit beyond the project to access trail guides, our interactive portal to Penwith landscape, historical reconstructions, project insights and more: penwithlandscape.com Image by Phoebe Herring. #LovePenwith #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

Our #volunteers are key to all we have done, and by training them to survey Rights of Way and record archaeological sites our community can continue to uncover, identify and protect Penwith’s #heritage into the future. #LovePenwith #Penwith #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

By clearing Penwith’s ancient sites, we’ve helped preserve Cornish heritage and updated records to support future conservation. This has reconnected locals to the landscape and unearthed some sites for the first time in decades! #LovePenwith #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

Our Access projects have raised awareness of the importance of Penwith’s access paths among parish councils, landowners, farmers and the community; improving the accessibility of pathways and the landscape. #LovePenwith #walking #Cornwall #Penwith #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

Art and creativity not only allow us to explore our present landscape, but experience the past too – as our wonderful historical reconstruction drawings from Phoebe Herring show! Discover them at penwithlandscape.com/trails-and-anc… #LovePenwith #Penwith #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

Did you know the images from our nature photography sessions with Mousehole School were the highlight from our exhibitions, and have inspired future similar sessions to take place – allowing more children to interact with our landscape? #LovePenwith #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

Cornish is an important part of Penwith’s culture, and we’re pleased to continue this through our website, where people can access Cornish language resources, and practice their Kernewek with our Cornish menu! penwithlandscape.com/cornish-in-pen… #LovePenwith #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

Our work has shown how Penwith’s past connects to the present. By improving physical and digital access to cultural sites, people can continue to learn about #Penwith’s heritage. Discover our digital offerings: penwithlandscape.com/trails-and-anc… #LovePenwith #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

Though Farming projects, we have helped farmers support wildlife-rich landscapes such as downs, moors and cliffs, and to implement sustainable farming practices, demonstrating how productive farmland can support a living landscape. #LovePenwith #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

Think you need a fence to manage cattle? Think again! By introducing Nofence invisible fencing for #cattle, we’ve protected moorland so that native species can thrive. Learn more: penwithlandscape.com/farming-blog/p… #LovePenwith #farming #Cornwall #Penwith #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

We’ve been proud to encourage the community to record local wild species to support conservation strategies in Penwith. To everyone who has been a part of our Penwith Wildlife Recording Group, or taken part in a BioBlitz, thank you! #LovePenwith #NationalLotteryHeritageFund

By creating new habitats for vulnerable species we’ve boosted wildflower populations and protected the Small Pearl Bordered Fritillary Butterfly for the future. #LovePenwith #butterflies #Cornwall #Penwith #wildlife #conservation #NationalLotteryHeritageFund
