Wildlife Waves Of Heath

The IOS Wildlife trust have been granted ?233,000 by the National Lottery to support their five-year project called “Waves of Heath”. The aim is to restore the heathland around the Islands.

The grant celebrations coincided with the Trust’s birthday. Celebrations were held at Carn Thomas Hall, where local children were invited to be creative, making kites and t-shirts.

Sadie Rhodes, a biology student at Bath University and a volunteer warden with the Trust told The Cornishman: “It is important to show local people what the trust does and to get children involved. The children will remember that they used natural materials to make kites and decorations and to print t-shirts - that’s a step towards appreciating the importance of the heathland habitat.”
