We are delighted to welcome two new corporate members to our scheme: Rosemullion Homes and Paradise Park. We look forward to working with Rosemullion Homes on the promotion of wildlife-friendly gardening and landscaping. We hope to run a number of joint events with Paradise Park in the future. As well as being home to the World Parrot Trust, Paradise Park is well known for its chough breeding and reintroduction programme. If you have not already visited Paradise Park, you can also look forward to seeing barn owls, ravens and red squirrels amongst other exotic and endangered wildlife. We also owe a vote of thanks to Peter Stafford, Vanda Arthur and Rick Kilminster from The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Rose-in-Vale Hotel and Seven Wives of St Ives respectively, who are giving up their time to attend a Marketing Advisory Group under the chairmanship of Keith Staite of In Pursuit of Excellence to give expert advice to the Trust. One of our corporate members, Seven Wives Soap, has been very active for wildlife on its industrial estate site. It is creating a wildlife area around the factory and encouraging the small bird population by providing nesting boxes, feeding stations and shelter | from predators.
Its new marketing office, located in a renovated barn, contains nesting and roosting
spaces built into the walls with the possibility of fitting lights and video cameras
to view and record activity taking place within. The co-owners, Rick and Douglas,
are also active wardens on their local Trust reserve. Seven Wives Soap is a small
Cornish company making natural handmade soap. Soap has traditionally been made
in giant factories using fairly horrific raw materials. Seven Wives Soap believes
that there should be an alternative that means fewer chemicals in your body and
the environment. Making soap purely with vegetable and essential oils should result
in reduced skin damage. Responsible companies now take environmental good practice
very seriously. The Trust looks forward to developing exciting projects in partnership
with organisations large and small. Our corporate partnership scheme enables us
to work with local companies who wish to support wildlife whilst enjoying the
benefits of our local knowledge. For more information on becoming a corporate
partner, please give me a call. Alison Vaughan |
