Summary of proposal inc. proposed outputs
A pilot project lead by Pollenize to improve pollinator resilience and generate public engagement on the former Drakewalls Mine site by planting at least 100m2 of wild meadow mix customised to the needs of the area.
This pilot project located with a designated pollinator Bee Line, is designed to enhance understanding of enhancing public spaces for nature as part of Local Nature Recovery Strategies by identifying a site, baselining, regenerating and engaging the public via bio blitz programme and reporting apps.
There is also the opportunity to compare baseline with historic transect data held by Cornwall Council up to around 2010.
Our Tamar Valley Nature Recovery Plan has identified enhancing community spaces as an opportunity to improve biodiversity, engage the public and work towards 30:30 goal.
Enhancements to community space is one of the most asked questions when engaging with Parish Councils
A measured input v wildlife increasing outputs within the area by baselining and surveying.
Public engagement via bio blitz and app use – building a platform for future projects on the site. An opportunity to promote activities around the Tamar Valley Centre.
The opportunity of Tamar Valley National Landscape to host workshops with Parish Councils.
Nature enhancements to the site around the TVC, improving wellbeing to staff, visitors and the community.
A greater understanding of the processes involved in successful rewinding of community spaces in order to share and promote this activity with others, including individuals, Parish Councils
