⭐ The team at Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Sustainability Awards were lucky enough to get a sneak peak of some this year's trophies, being designed and created collaboratively by Cut By Beam - Laser Cutting & Etching and More Creative Solutions. Cut By Beam are a female led laser cutting team in Cornwall and they don't do throw away!

🏆The trophies are being created using recycled elements, that would have otherwise gone to waste, with laser technology to etch the winner's names and categories - no harmful chemicals or resources going in the bin!

🎟 Still need to get your tickets for the big night? There's a two-for-one deal - get yours now!

🦋 Want to help nature in your area? Come and collect your FREE tree from Newquay Football Club on Saturday 22nd November.

🌳 You can choose from rowan, crab apple, hawthorn, hazel, guelder rose, and dogwood. Each tree comes with an information card that’ll give you all the details on planting and maintaining your tree so that it establishes well.

🌟Trees bring huge benefits to where you live – these include cleaner air, shade in hot summers and shelter from the wind and rain, as well as reducing the risk of flooding.

🐦Planting a tree helps create ‘green corridors’ that provide homes for birds, insects and animals, and allow them to move between gardens, local parks, green spaces and the surrounding countryside, boosting nature recovery everywhere.

Events have already been held in Callington, Torpoint, Helston and Tintagel and during this winter we will also be holding more free tree giveaways in Camborne, Saltash, Penzance, Perranporth & St. Agnes, Bodmin, Redruth, Truro and St. Austell.

👀Keep an eye on our social media for more details, or go to the News & Events page on our website www.cornwall.gov.uk/forestforcornwall

Remember to bring a bag to take your tree home in!

📣 Live in or near Saltash? Come and join us at Oaklands Community Centre on Saturday 29th November (10.00 - 13.00) for fun activities for all ages.

🌟 There's a FREE Back Garden Forest tree giveaway - you can choose from a range of trees - please bring a bag so you can take it away to plant in your garden.

🌟 Make your own Christmas Tree in the Willow Weaving Workshop, join a fascinating Tree Walk & Talk, and there's also a chance to plant the next generation of trees in the park.

🌳 Tincombe Park, Saltash, was the site of the first planting for Forest for Cornwall in December 2019, and we are back to celebrate the planting of over 1.6 million trees in more than 1000 projects across Cornwall.

💪 This would not have been possible without all the residents, businesses and organisations that have got involved - a huge thank you to you all!

This is just one of the events we have planned for National Tree Week (22nd to 30th November). There are two more Free Back Garden Forest FREE Tree giveaways in Newquay (22nd November) and Camborne (29th November), and the Cornwall Women's Institutes will be planting trees in their local areas.

Cornwall Climate Care is an award-winning charity creating powerful films that bring audiences closer to the environmental challenges we face here in Cornwall.

Through their Crowdfunder campaign, supported by Cornwall Council's Climate & Nature Fund, they raised the funds to produce "Hungry for Change", a thought-provoking film following a journey across Cornwall to meet the people finding innovative ways for us to “do food better” in a changing climate 🎥🥕

Whether you're planting trees, restoring nature, or raising awareness about the climate emergency, Crowdfunder and Cornwall Council want to help you make it happen. If your project is approved, you could receive up to 50% match funding towards your crowdfunding goal, up to £5,000!

🍎 Happy Allantide! 🍎

'Kalan Gwav' is Cornish for the first day of winter. Celebrated on Halloween through until today, Allantide marks the end of the summer's harvest. Gifts of large, shiny red apples are made to friends and family and you sleep with one under your pillow, it is said you'll dream of your future sweetheart...

🤗 Winter is for nurturing, going back to roots and finding warmth as it gets colder outside, and still finding time to connect! Why not spend some time in a local community garden or community orchard?

Happy Halloween! Today, we’re doing a special Nature Recovery Species Spotlight and highlighting an incredibly cool (some may say spooky) species, the Spider Crab! 💚

Did you know that:
🦀 Spider Crabs get their name from their long, spindle-like legs.
🦀 Their shells are often covered with algae, making them blend into their surroundings
🦀 Their bodies can grow up to 20cm!
🦀 Thousands of Spider Crabs migrate to shallower waters annually to shed their shells and then return to deeper water once this process is completed.

Spider Crabs can be found all around the coast of Cornwall & Isles of Scilly. Look out for them next time you're in the water!

🍎Interested in orchards and their history in Cornwall?

Expert Colin Hawke will be giving a fascinating lecture for the Cornwall Orchard Network on Thursday 6th November ( 7-9pm) at The Ladder in Redruth. It will focus on the story of the Cornwall Orchard Project which supported the planting of orchards in Cornwall 35 years ago, and what has been learnt from it.

🌿Did you plant one of these orchards, or do you care for one now? Are you interested in planting your own orchard? Come and share your experiences, learning and plans with other orchard enthusiasts.

🐝Let's learn from the lessons of the past to help ensure the future success of this vital habitat.

🎟 For tickets go to Eventbrite, and search for Cornwall Orchard Network.
