Gorse Management

        Cornish hedging

Higher Trenowin and surrounding areas offer a great habitat for wildlife and plants. Most of fields are bound by traditional granite Cornish hedges, which we try to maintain in line with our commitment to the Environmentally Sensitive Area in which we live.  Due to our grazing pattern and heath land management, native bluebells and wild orchids flower in spring and early summer along with wood anemones, Western and European gorse, heathers and bracken.  During the winter we have snipe, woodcock and golden plover feeding on the higher fields and downs and the lonely call of the curlew can also be heard.  In the summer pheasant and wild duck breed and rear their young which we enjoy seeing about in the fields.
