Local Flora & Fauna
Flora and Fauna in West Penwith
The objective of this page is two fold:
- Firstly to record and photo interesting or outstanding examples of plants and wildlife to be found in our area. This can be in your garden, a neighbour’s garden or just in our countryside and along our coast
- Secondly, we are interested in developing a record of the changing climate and its impact on species of plants and animals in our area, including plants that are in bud or blooming much earlier or novel plants and animals that are establishing themselves in West Penwith
We encourage all members and non members to submit photographs and information on date and location of the observation.
Please forward your photo and observations to Penny@peninsulagardensociety.org and she will publish them on this page.
