St Agnes and Gugh Seabird Recovery Project – a story about a community uniting for seabirds.
When we look back at the history of achievements stemming from the Isles of Scilly National Landscape Partnership, it’s hard to see a greater accomplishment than the restoration of St Agnes and Gugh for breeding seabirds. In fact, this is still the world’s largest community-based rat removal project to date!
Welcome to National Landscapes!
Tony Richardson, Chair of the Isles of Scilly National Landscape Partnership attended a launch event at the Royal Society in London, on 22 November, when all designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) in England and Wales became National Landscapes.
The IOS Farmers’ and Growers’ Initiative hosted a day on St Martin’s touring the St Martin’s Vineyeard and Churchtown Farm. These walks are organised regularly for Scilly farmers to share best practice, keep in touch and learn from eachother, and to get together on areas of shared interest.
One of the most iconic features of Scilly’s archaeology are the ancient burial mounds found across many of the islands. The chambered tombs known as ‘entrance graves’ are a magnet for visitors and islanders alike. From the spectacular circular mounds of Upper Innisidgen and Porth Hellick Down to the secretive grave tucked away on Samson’s south hill, they command attention and intrigue wherever you go.
