🦊 Pine marten kits in neighbouring Devon – the first in over 100 years!
Not our project, but we’re excited by the potential this has for Cornwall.
With the right conditions and shelter (like den boxes), we may see these woodland mammals back in the Duchy one day soon.

More beavery stuff from the last few weeks.
Some photos from the enclosure at Hamatethy Farm, I’m yet to meet anyone who isn’t fascinated when entering an environment such as this.
The rest of the photos are from Helman Tor, where a pair of free living beavers have taken up residence.
