Cornwall’s nature is in the middle of something remarkable. Beavers are back at Helman Tor, ancient rainforest is returning to east Cornwall, seagrass is being recorded that’s never been mapped before.
None of this happens without people who are in it for the long haul. Which is why membership is so important to what we are, together, able to do. Your ongoing commitment is what makes sure Cornwall’s nature can keep fighting back, year after year.
More than 18,000 people are already members, we’d love for you to join us.
From as little as £3 a month you can:
- Be part of a community of thousands who’ve decided Cornwall’s wildlife is worth fighting for, long-term.
- Fund the ongoing work that’s affecting real change – from protecting Cornwall’s seas to restoring species-rich grassland.

Nature is in decline in Cornwall
- 12% of species of principal importance are threatened with local extinction or complete loss in Cornwall.
- Nearly half of terrestrial mammals and three-fifths of butterflies are found in fewer places over the last 30 years.
- Nearly half of breeding birds have declined.
- Since the 1970s there is evidence that 21 breeding birds, 4 vascular plants and 8 bumblebees have become extinct from Cornwall.
Your membership can help reverse the decline.
What does Cornwall Wildlife Trust do with my support?
We protect native wildlife and habitats of all kinds, from buzzards to ancient woodland, dragonflies to the fantastic marine wildlife in our seas.
We manage and develop over 50 nature reserves throughout Cornwall.
We protect landscapes from threat of development, and champion nature with key decision makers.
We advise and help landowners sympathetically manage their sites for wildlife.
We inspire and educate those to take positive action for wildlife.

Reverse the decline
“Cornwall’s wildlife is in a bad way and continued species decline will inevitably lead to local extinctions... We know from our work that together we can make a difference and bring nature back. That gives me hope we can still turn the situation around.”
