The Cornwall Wildlife Trust is a charitable organisation founded in 1962 that is concerned solely with
Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.
It deals with the conservation and preservation of Cornwall's wildlife, geology and habitats managing over 50 nature reserves covering approximately 4,300 acres (17 km2), amongst them
Looe Island.
The direction and work that the Trust currently does is guided by the Cornwall
Biodiversity action plan. Living Seas and Living Landscapes are two such projects. The Trust runs ERCCIS (Environmental Records Centre for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly), a county wide database of sightings of animals and plants, and records of geology. It also gives
planning advice (CEC - Cornwall Environmental Consultants) to land developers.
The Trust is based at
Allet near
Truro in
Cornwall. The headquarters and offices are adjacent to the Trust's Five Acres nature reserve. This reserve includes two ponds, as well as mixed broadleaved and conifer woodland.
