Love Lane Wildlife Garden was leased from Cornwall Council and is now under the stewardship of local residents and Cormac.
The main objectives for the management of the site have been:
-
To promote, protect and maintain biodiversity within the site.
-
To encourage community access to and appreciation of nature and wildlife.
-
To establish and maintain a ‘Food Forest’ on the site.
Love Lane Wildlife Garden consists of various differing types of habitat; the willow area, the community veg plot, the meadow, the woodland edge and hedges, the wild areas (bramble or bracken), the orchard areas and the woodland to the South East.
Willow, hazel and dogwood are managed so as to provide resources for local craftspeople and groups, while apple, pear, cherry, blueberry, raspberry and other plants plants provide a food crop (to keep the volunteers going!)
