The seeds of TGC were sown in response to recent social distancing measures. Built upon the community work in Truro woodlands, led by Truro City Council's countryside ranger & supported by TCC's assistant community development officer, it is now blooming. #getcreativeforwildlife

I love it when you’re walking through an urban area, you come across a few trees, and a male blackbird is belting it out!

Baby Bluey! 💙💛

Look who has started visiting the last few days since fledging from our nest box just over a week ago!
I guess home really is where the heart is 😌

#NoMowMay has come to an end but the floral feast continues (esp now we've had some rain!). It's time for #LetItBloomJune and a call to everyone with a lawn, verge, park or pitch to keep the mowers away & feed the bees @IoloWilliams2 @ChrisGPackham @TheMontyDon @wildflower_hour

The humane way to catch a mouse. This mouse loved peanut butter and was released away from the #Truro house he'd temporarily inhabited. @TruroHour

We will soon be launching a new campaign involving butterflies!

Butterflies are beautiful indicators; showing how well we are all looking after the natural world around us.

In these testing times, butterflies can be a massive symbol of HOPE.

Please RT to raise awareness 😊

All of a sudden there was an ear piercing noise in the tree, then a (very ungraceful!) landing on our fence and it was this gorgeous Starling juvenile! Mum was very quick to come down and give her noisy offspring a snack. #NaturePhotography #wildlife @Natures_Voice @CwallWildlife

I've sharpened up the head on the axe I've made Lizi, it works perfectly. 😁.

Get to know your local trees, each one has a very interesting story to tell.

Some more regional names for Cockchafers have been shared (mostly by @objectivepotato - thanks!). Including humbuz, bracken clock, bummler, May-bittle and chovy! What do you call them?
