Cornwall Wildlife Trust to restore rainforest habitat

An appeal to raise funds for a long-lost Cornwall rainforest habitat to be restored to benefit wildlife has been launched.

Cornwall Wildlife Trust has launched an appeal with a target of £50,000 to restore the habitat at West Muchlarnick Farm near Fowey to benefit the lives of wildlife.

If the funds are raised it will be the beginning of a 50-year restoration project.

Temperate rainforests used to thrive across Cornwall for many years. However, only small, fragmented patches are left as these ecosystems have been destroyed over time.
