LIST OF ADVERTISERS ACORN EQUINE RUG WASH 34 If you walk the lane from Trekenner to Lezant, you’re sure to see the birds’ nests appearing in the hedgerows over on your left. The birds started early this year, probably A J DESIGN (Andy Paton) Chartered Architectural Technician 22 due to that warm spell which was in turn due to the positioning of the jet stream. These are the lucky ones - in fact you can see a healthy landscape developing all the way in the A N JEWELL Painter and Decorator 23 valley from Trekenner to Broomhill, thanks to the environmentally aware efforts of the BEN’S BOILER SERVICES 10 Barnes family, the Nashes, the Bakers and the good folk at Broomhill. Most of the hedges have been given one year or more off from trimming which means they will provide good CBL STOVE & CHIMNEY SPECIALISTS 25 shelter and camouflage for nesting birds and food plants for pollinators. Elsewhere, CHRIS LYLE PLASTERING 13 nature has been given the chance to prosper thanks to the hard work re-wilding the landscape by the folk at Clamlands where cowslips now flourish and the conservation at ROOT AND BRANCH Tree Service 14 Peter’s farm at Larrick, to name but a few. Sorry if you have been missed out from the ESG BOILERCARE 12 roll of honour! GLEBE VETERINARY SURGERY 26 Anyone know why some people were still trimming their hedges in the first week of March, and not only that, they were trimming at night in the dark? It will badly disrupt GROUP TRAVEL Coach Hire and Excursions 29 nesting and roosting that way. On the back road from Trebullett to Scarne at JOHN CLARK Carpentry/Painting/Decorating 22 Launceston, several fields have been sprayed ’dead to the edge’, right into the foot of the hedgerow, meaning that the wild plants which could provide food for the vital pollinators, LAUNCESTON COMPUTERS (Sales, Repairs & Training) 13 have been wiped out. I’m not an expert, just someone who has lived in the countryside H.A.G.S. The Clutter Busters ( House clearances and help with household tasks ) 29 all my life and was fortunate enough to see when the hedgerows were seething with butterflies and bees. MOBILE FOOT CARE Foot Care in your own home 24

No doubt someone will send a messenger telling me to keep out of politics as with last MOORLAND FUELS (Local Fuel Supplier) 3 year when I put the graph of the declining bird population on the front cover. But I don’t consider it politics to care about the landscape and everything that lives within it. Is MORWELLHAM QUAY Attraction 11 habitat protection ‘politics’? I would like our descendents to hear the Dawn Chorus and N & P SERVICES (N Barnes) General Building 23 perhaps to be able to see those small blue butterflies round here again - sadly completely missing from the fields and paddocks that have hedges subject to the annual flail and NAOMI FINCH Mobile Hairdressing 28 thus no shelter or food for insects, birds and small mammals. It’s not rocket science. PENDRAGON COUNTRY HOUSE Restaurant and Function Room 26

So this isn’t a Rob’s Rant so much as a plea for everyone who has it in their power over PHIL AND MARK KNIGHT Garden & Building Services 10 the landscape, to bring back the wild plants, the pollinators and the other wildlife before it’s too late. Don’t trim those hedges every year ...and remember your buffer zone at the R MEARS & SONS Chimney Sweeps 3 field edge. R J HOSKING Tree Surgeon 12

Who was it said that without pollinators, we'll all soon starve? SOMETHING NICE CATERING (Judith Scott) Catering Service 28
