We're excited to share that our new film has been selected as a finalist at the Big Syn International Film Festival, London.

The film, of which you can watch a short extract below, shows the beauty of Cornwall alongside the threats facing nature today. It's a call to action that we hope will inspire more people to see their place in protecting and restoring nature, whether through volunteering, campaigning, joining us or simply connecting more with the natural world.

The film has been selected as part of a United Nations Sustainable Development Goals commitment and will be shown online from 16 to 25 October, with winners announced at a special event in London on 6 November, and featured on Piccadilly Circus!

Massive thanks to everyone who contributed time, effort, and footage to the film and in particular to Bull & Wolf for helping tell our story, and to Kernow King for lending his unmistakable Cornish voice!

Watch the full film now on the 'What We Do' page of the Cornwall Wildlife Trust website.

How do we know that what we're doing is working?

Our annual Impact Review is an opportunity to measure progress against the ambitious targets set in our 2030 strategy for nature recovery in Cornwall.

The depth and breadth of our work means it's not always easy to see or share our cumulative impact. The Impact Review does just that.

From releasing beavers into the wild, securing £3.3 million from the National Lottery Heritage Fund for our catchment scale Tor to Shore project, restoring seagrass, registering 1,075 volunteers, celebrating more than 18,000 members in the movement for a wilder Cornwall - the list goes on and on.

This is your invitation to dive in, explore the review and hopefully feel inspired by all the positive action taking place right here in Cornwall.

And this is also a call to action. We hope you'll see that doing changes things, and feel compelled to get involved. Whether that means becoming a member, donating, volunteering, campaigning or connecting with nature, there are so many ways to be part of this impact story.

Species that need a new PR team? The spider.

Spiders might be Halloween's unofficial mascot, but they're much more than spooky season decorations. They help keep insect populations in balance, create incredible silk structures, and come in all shapes and sizes.

This autumn, instead of shooing them away, try and take a closer look.

Want to meet some of Halloween's real-life stars? Join us at Wild Halloween at Five Acres on Saturday 24 October, where bats, owls, spiders, and other nocturnal wildlife take centre stage.

👉️ The event is free, family-friendly, and packed with nature-based activities for all ages.
