Welcome to the Friends of Kilminorth Woods
website.
|
Described by some as
'a Little Known Gem', known by others as 'the Lungs of Looe',
Kilminorth Woods is a Local Nature Reserve near Looe in South East Cornwall,
owned by Cornwall Council. Classified as ancient woodland, it is part of a
County Wildlife Site in an Area of Special Landscape Value and is also a
featured site in the BBC's Breathing Places Project.
|
| The Friends of
Kilminorth Woods is a community based wildlife and conservation group that runs
events throughout the year. With around 100 members, our group has a family
feel and endeavours to cater for all age groups and abilities. |

| Events include
conservation activities such as bat monitoring, butterfly walks, badger
watches, bug hunts and many more. We have a members' walk at least once a month
and other special interest events and trips throughout the year. So why not
come along? See the
events page
for more details. |

We have
close links with other conservation groups such as the Cornwall Wildlife Trust,
Looe Voluntary Marine Conservation Area, BBC South West (Breathing Places),
Caradon Field and Natural History Club, the Friends of Churchtown Farm,
Cornwall Mammal Group, BTCV and other local organisations.
These links enable us to share
resources and expertise to ensure that the woodland is both properly managed
and remains a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) that the local and wider community
have access to.
This photo was taken on one of
our family days on the West Looe estuary run in conjunction with the Cornwall
Wildlife Trust. It was a day of exploring the natural history of the estuary
