π¦ Pine marten kits in neighbouring Devon β the first in over 100 years!
Not our project, but weβre excited by the potential this has for Cornwall.
With the right conditions and shelter (like den boxes), we may see these woodland mammals back in the Duchy one day soon.

The first two otters are cautious & focused.
The last one? Totally distracted and living their best life.

Turns out, beavers are environmental heroes π¦«
Their dams help reduce flooding, clean water, store carbon, and bring back biodiversity.
Rewilding? They've been doing it for centuries.
