Treraven Farm Treraven Farm is owned by the Gaia Trust, a UK Registered Charity and managed according to their mission of "farming for people and wildlife".

A sanctuary for wildlife and accessible green space. www.facebook.com/groups/TreravenFarm page is for sharing links to Treraven Farm events and updates - and for anyone to share any links connected to climate, ecology, biodiversity, animals, plants, farming, forestry, resilience, outdoor play, biology education, rural skills, survival skills, forest schools etc. Treraven Farm lies along t

he old cart track between Guineaport in Wadebridge and Burlawn. It is part open-access woodland and saltmarsh nature-reserve and part privately dairy farmed - with overlap of nature-reserve and farmed areas in the central open-access hay meadows. The map is here: http://goo.gl/maps/6srsb

It is owned by The Gaia Trust, which owns several properties in Cornwall and Devon. All are managed according to their mission of "farming for people and wildlife". The Gaia Trust demonstrates that economically viable farming can not just coexist with, but actively benefit from:

*Protecting and enhancing indigenous flora and fauna, particularly endangered species.

*Exploring and trialling sustainable land management practices and sharing our work with others.

*Encouraging managed access to our visitor-friendly properties, and working to make them more physically and intellectually accessible

*Encouraging community involvement through volunteering, educational and other activities.

*Raising public awareness related to environmental and ecological issues, sustainable land management and traditional crafts and skills. http://www.gaiatrust.org.uk/about.html

Just in time for the cold snap, Richard and volunteer Bob rebuilt the pig's house in the woodland. As you can see, Ruby seemed a little bit worried as the sty was moved out of their 'pig zone' for 3 hours of repairs.

Lovely and useful though the pigs are, they do like to snuggle up in the house and rub against the sides which , when each pig is 150 plus kgs, can cause some serious damage.

So, we don't know how long the rebuilt sty will last but at least the pigs will be warm and snug during this cold snap.

A busy New Year's Eve at Treraven with Richard and Rachel, a student volunteer from Falmouth, clearing suckered Black Thorn. That is quite a pile of cuttings.

The cleared areas will be replanted with other native broad-leaved species to diversify the species mix and age profile of the woods. More tree diversity drives more diversity in other plants and animals within the woods.

Great work

Many thanks to all those who contacted me about fallen Trees at Treraven Farm over the weekend. I think I've cleared most of the pathways but let me know if I've missed any. The Huge Monterey pine that fell across the path in the top field will be cleared next weekend. Richard

The massive pothole at Treraven Farm has now been filled, many thanks to Richard Palmer and Pete Liddicoat for their hard work, also thanks to Travis Perkins for the donation of hardcore.

If anyone has any building rubble / hardcore they need to get rid of please bring it to Treraven Farm to put it in our ever growing pothole just inside the car park.... I've given up asking CORMAC for help. Thanks.

Treraven Farm… Music and Song

Wouldn’t it be nice to have some acoustic music at Treraven farm one evening in the summer?

We could gather at top acre after the fields have been cut with the beautiful views across the valley as a back drop. Musicians could bring their instruments and the audience can bring their voices and we could belt out a few tunes. Possibly 6pm till 10pm?

I’d be really interested in what people think of that idea, would you be happy to perform? Is it something you’d attend at Treraven? Anyone who would like to help manage such an event, please contact me. [email protected]

Moving the electric ecoquad to another of our properties this morning. The quad will help us to efficiently transport tree planting materials and trees to the new fenced off plots so that we can get planting once the conditions allow
