Liskeard

High Wood is our very first land purchase, and an integral part of the Liskeard community. A place for serene dog walks, peaceful gatherings, and wildlife spotting.

We have been working hard to restore High Wood to its former glory as an ancient temperate rainforest - a habitat that’s all too rare today. Beyond that, Protect Earth have been getting stuck in with the local community, helping farmers with tree planting and hedgerows around Liskeard.

It seems only half of the trees had survived - the Bramble was over head height, so they did not survey the middle of the plots. However, for every dead tree, 3 willows have naturally regenerated, so no need to replant here.
