Kernow Conservation is a relatively new not-for-profit conservation organisation working in partnership with others to restore wildlife and biodiversity across Cornwall.
Amongst many other things, they’re already leading a project to reintroduce the Water Vole to southern Cornwall and now they’ve turned their sights to a potential reintroduction of the Osprey.
Formerly a breeding bird in Cornwall, these days it’s only seen on migration.
Kernow Conservation has been working with landowners to install Osprey breeding platforms in an attempt to draw them in but they’re also now investigating the feasibility of a full-blown reintroduction, similar to the successful projects at Rutland Water and Poole Harbour.
Kernow Conservation has been running a crowd funder to help support the costs of this effort and today is the last day to donate.

NB: All donations are being double matched, thanks to support from the Aviva Fund & Save Our Wild Isles Community Fund. So for every £1 donated, Kernow Conservation will receive £3.
