Cornwall Wildlife Trust - Wild Cornwall

Discovery Day, 8th November 2003

David Bellamy may be a hard act to follow/ but we have another varied programme at Chacewater Village Hall this year which I am sure you will enjoy. The owl pellet worksnop is a slightly different activity, but as

it is an interesting subject, I hope some of you who have not attended such an event before may feel like joining in. However, please book early for this as numbers are strictly limited. An excellent lunch (if last year was anything to go by!) can be provided at a cost of £5 per head, or you can, if you wish, bring a packed lunch. As well as the events; the

Trusts 'shop' will be open for business, with goods suitable for Christmas presents; and our new range of Christmas cards and puddings.

It is essential to book in advance for this day, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Chacewater is-easy to find if you have not been there before. If you approach from the A30, take the Truro turn at Chiverton Cross roundabout, and then take the first turning on the right signposted Chacewater. At the staggered crossroads, turn right, and when you enter the village, look for, the turning to the left beside Hie Kings Head public house signposted free car park and toilets. The Village Hall is next to the car park.

A form enabling you to book your place at Discovery Day, or order our Christmas cards by post is enclosed with this magazine.

Information about the puddings and cards are on p.30 . I hopeyou willsupport our venture as we think this will be a very enjoyable way to raise money to help fund our work!

A remarkable couple

Riidiger Wohlers and Heike Neunaber visited Cornwall in 1996 and called at our shop in Penzance-Having selected a number of items they wished to purchase they approached Sally Pyner/ and to her astonishment requested these items not singly, like any ordinary customer, but in hundreds.

Thus began an astonishing relationship between Riidiger/ Heike and Cornwall and between Cornwall Wildlife Trust and NABU, a parallel wildlife organisation in Germany.

Rudiger is the Director of NABU in Lower Saxony, an area of North

Germany which borders the North Sea. Heike is employed by the local Council on environmental matters.

Numerous visits led to them falling helplessly in love with Cornwall/ and with each other. They married in May 1998. Many guests to their wedding made their gifts to the
