Penrose

Penrose is home to one of the largest areas of wet willow woodland, known as willow carr, in Cornwall and we’ve been working with the community to improve habitats and access for walkers.

The National Trust are leading a partnership of environmental organisations to bring Cornwall’s largest natural lake back to life, by improving water quality.

In May 2018 the Penrose rangers helped ring a barn owl that has set up home in a new barn owl box at Degibna when they discovered she was sitting on 5 eggs at the time.

We've come across some pretty special wildlife at Penrose, recently however, with use of a hidden camera, we were treated to something very rare.

Few of us stop and think about what nocturnal wildlife lives in the places we go for a walk during the day, but Penrose is alive with nature at night. Bats, owls, otter and deer come out to feed once the café’s closed and the rangers’ work is done for the day.
