Editorial
Our spotlight this spring will be on
marshes, wet meadows and heaths,
bogs, river banks, and the fringes of
ponds and lakes - in other words, our
freshwater wetlands.
Your magazine details a number of
ways in which the Trust is seeking
their protection, including species
and habitat monitoring, advising
landowners and planning authorities,
raising public awareness, and
restoring or extending sites. There is
also a more obvious Trust approach
to weti and conservation - that of
acquiring sites and managing them
as nature reserves.
Initial indications from the Cornwall
LIFE Project on loss of the county's
most important wildlife sites shows
that wetlands have been hit particularly
hard. These natural assets are
irreplaceable, and yet they continue to
be destroyed in spite of 5551 and other
conservation designations.
The only way we can guarantee the
welfare of such areas in the long
term is to hold them as nature
reserves - hence the Trust's Habitat
Appeal. The response of members
so far has been tremendous, and will
inspire a large total from other
sources. Well done, and do please
continue to give us your support.
