Volunteering has been at the heart of the work of the Penwith Landscape Partnership. 

Many of our projects included opportunities for volunteer work. The work our volunteers undertook included:

  • PLP Volunteers at Bosavern Community FarmClearing vegetation from footpaths and ancient sites

  • Surveying archaeological remains in Penwith

  • Repairing Cornish hedges

  • Identifying and recording flora and fauna

  • Repairing and replacing stiles and gates

  • Recording important local heritage features in the landscape

  • Removing invasive species of plants

  • Historical research into ancient sites

Here you can read about the experiences of some of our volunteers.

We have a number of documents of interest to volunteers including our handbook, if you'd like to see this please contact our Volunteer Coordinator Chandelle at chandelle.randall@cornwallwildlifetrust.org.uk 

The lead partner for our two volunteering focused projects was the Cornwall AONB. You can read more about our People and Communities projects here.
