Cornwall Wildlife Trust is a registered charity and is the only organisation dedicated to the conservation of the Cornish environment and its wildlife. The best protection you can offer any piece of land is to own it and manage it as a nature reserve. We have already established over 50 nature reserves , in which examples of each of Cornwall's habitats give refuge to nationally rare and endangered species. Our reserves are protected forever.
Mousehole Wild Bird Hospital and Sanctuary is based in Mousehole and cares for the many wild birds that need treatment and help. Those unable to return to the wild are given sanctuary for the remainder of their life.
The Donkey Sanctuary is based at Sidmouth, Devon where the donkeys, Merlin and Susie, went to live here following Derek's death. Merlin has since died but Susie is still living happily with her new friends.
The Lamorna Society's aims are to:
Enjoy the creative output of the Lamorna Valley - its art, poetry and literature, together with its social and natural history.
Enjoy places, people and things associated with S.J. Lamorna Birch and his circle and to construct a Lamorna archive.
Cornish Volunteer Look-Up Library An American site set up under the Ancestry.com community hosted by Roots Web.
The Library was created in 1998 throuhg the collective efforts of Cornish Mailings lists on Roots Web. Cornish descendants can link here to find details about their ancestors, see photos, arrange for Cornish related meetings/get togethers and you will also find Derek's work now referred to in their library section. Do have a look.
If you are Cornish you may be able to help our American cousins with their ancestry searches.
