Woodland and flora

Woodland clearly goes hand in hand with the wildlife. The reason we have so much wildlife is that the woodland provides food and shelter. In the ten years that we have been at Rosehill we have planted over 500 trees and shrubs. All the trees at Rosehill are protected by a Tree Preservation Order. The vast majority of trees are broadleaved. It is unusual, almost unique, in Cornwall to have broadleaved woodland so close to the rugged Atlantic Coast.

Our primary aim is to use “best practises” in managing the woodland and to plant trees which compliment the existing broadleaved species.. We are personal members of the Woodland Trust and take our responsibilities extremely seriously with regard protection of our woodland. We are fortunate as Rebecca, one of the managers at Rosehill, is also the local tree warden for the Porthtowan area and is happy to help and advise in any way she can.
