‘’The wildlife at Ekopod is one of the key elements of our guests' experience. Therefore, it seemed a natural step to become business members of Cornwall Wildlife Trust and support them in their vital work of improving the provision for wildlife in our area.
Our guests love that we're associated with such a worthwhile charity, and we have received support from their team to improve our business in many ways, including helping us secure a TEVI grant earlier this year’’Ekopod

As a business, it's important for us to give something back to the local community and we wanted to find one that was making a difference in Cornwall. We felt that Cornwall Wildlife Trust would be the perfect partner for Pengelly Retreat as enjoyment of nature and helping wildlife habitats to thrive are at the heart of what we offer to guests.
We've found them to be really supportive and encouraging of the work that we do here and it feels great to know that some of the profits we generate are helping to support the vital projects that they are running across the county

For full transparency and understanding please read this important message to all Business Supporters.
Donations received from business memberships are vital in allowing us to carry out work for a wilder Cornwall. Thank you for your support.
Whilst we greatly appreciate the donations and support we receive from businesses, our main priority is, and always will be, the protection of wildlife and wild spaces, and this will never be compromised.
We encourage business supporters to share in our values and be actively committed to reducing their environmental impact.
As a charity and inclusive organization we feel we can help influence behaviours and practices better by engaging with businesses and creating an open channel for communication. If as a business, you are concerned about your practices or feel that you could be doing better, we would like to think we can help.
- Part of the Wilder Business welcome pack will give you some helpful hints and tips about how to make a difference at work or in your office to make it better for wildlife and more environmentally friendly.
- If you are interested in applying for grants to help make your business more friendly for wildlife and support environmental growth in Cornwall, as a business member, we can put you in touch with our Tevi advisor to discuss this with you.
- We also offer free consultations with Cornwall Environmental Consultancy for businesses who would like some advice either on current or future practices or projects.
If at any point a business’s actions go against our values and/or our advice, we reserve the right to terminate the association and ask for the immediate removal of our business supporter logos.
Thank you for your support and your understanding!
Together we will protect Cornwall’s wilder places, wilder people and wilder future
