The photographs, some taken by Cornwall Wildlife Trust’s photographic group, and some chosen through a photography competition, showcase the incredible talent there is in Cornwall.

February features a Barn Owl at Gribben Head by Ian McCarthy, esteemed cinematographer, whose Wild Cornwall film has been seen by over 2,000 people.

Each month features a stunning shot of Cornish wildlife in its natural habitat, whilst also highlighting the ‘species of the month’ encouraging the public to get out and explore the local wildlife around Cornwall. The calendar also celebrates its Cornish roots with dates and months in Cornish, as well as Cornish celebrations throughout the year.

Cornwall Wildlife Trust ensures it continues to protect wildlife and wild places in Cornwall by only producing a calendar that is printed on sustainable and recyclable materials, including a biodegradable wrapping.

Isabella Hawkes, Community Fundraising Officer says,

“At only £6.50 a calendar, this beautiful representation of Cornwall’s wildlife is a brilliant addition to any household. Whether as a gift for family, friends, or yourself, Cornwall Wildlife Trust’s annual calendar is a great way to show your support for a local charity”.

“As a charity, Cornwall Wildlife Trust has been sponsored by 13 local businesses, ensuring that all profits from the sale of the calendar go directly to protecting Cornwall’s wildlife and wild places for generations to come; Avanti Gas, Classic Cottages, Aspects Holidays, The Olde House, Cornish Riviera TLC, Silverlake Design, Biffa, The Pirate Bus, Watson Marlow, St Eval Candle Company, PSP Insurance & Financial Solutions and Chelonia. We would like to thank all of the sponsors for their generosity.”

Calendars are available in retailers across Cornwall from April, as well as online and by telephone order. To purchase a Wild Cornwall Calendar for 2020 please contact Carolyn O’Hagan on (01872) 302233 or go online at www.cornwallwildlifetrust.org.uk/shop
