Tor to Shore - 2025 Survey

Tor to Shore survey

Tor to Shore is an ambitious six-year project by Cornwall Wildlife Trust, largely funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Spanning from the granite boulders of Helman Tor, through the villages and fields surrounding the Par River, to the turquoise waters of St Austell Bay, Tor to Shore will bring nature back. It will connect land and sea through rewilding, sustainable farming, and marine conservation - driven by local communities.

We'd love to hear your thoughts. Please take a moment to complete this survey and share what matters most to you about nature. Your input will help shape Tor to Shore's project activities accordingly. Thank you.
