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 Cornwall 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.

    1 MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF LEZANT PARISH COUNCIL HELD AT LEZANT CHURCH HALL ON TUESDAY 14th JANUARY 2020 Present: Councillors, A Armstrong Evans, N Burden, P J Cairns, J Dinnis, I Nash, V Hill, G Holter, G Scott Clerk: Mrs S Inman Members of the public: 4 Apologies for absence: C Ayres, T Malcolm 20.001 Declarations of Interest. None A planning consultant and clients were in attendance to speak about planning application PA19/10564. The consultant explained that the plans were illustrative and the number of houses at this stage were a guide offering a split of affordable and market stock. The plans had been drawn up with the expectation that the plot was a rural exception site. The agent stated that Treburley was well supported by bus links and roads and there was a need for housing in the area – the size of the workforce at the abattoir was given as an example. Plans highlighted all boundaries would be retained and a tree planting area was included. In addition, there was also potential for a play area of which ownership could be transferred to the parish council, at a later stage. In addition, funds would be allocated for a pedestrian crossing (with a central reservation) at Treburley along the A388 (as raised by Cornwall Highways). The client was open to negotiations with housing numbers and was willing to attend further meetings to discuss the application. It was noted by councillors that funding had already been made available through the Launceston Community Network Fund to provide a pedestrian crossing.

We see ourselves as part of a story of the grace of God, made manifest in Cornwall, which stretches back many hundreds of years, possibly to the very earliest days of the ChrisNan faith. It’s a story that calls us on into the future too, in loving mission, ministry and service. As we follow ‘The Saints Way’ we will be deeply commi+ed to Christ and to all that he calls us to be and to do; and to Cornwall, this very special place with its own parNcular culture, history and idenNty. We can only follow that Way faithfully if we see it as our corporate calling, as the body of Christ. So we encourage ministers of the gospel to come and join us here who are commi+ed to seng the whole people of God free in their God-given calling, to make Christ known here in Cornwall, today.

FORDand K. G. McWHIRTER Genetics Laboratory, Deportment of Zoology, Oxford Receivedi.Xi.58 1. DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AREA OF THE SOUTH ENGLISH STABILISATION INthe years 5950-52 Dowdeswell and Ford (5952, 1953)foundthat throughout a large part of Southern England the females of Maniola jurtina, the Meadow Brown Butterfly, were so stabilised that all popu- lations showed a characteristic spot-distribution with a large mode at o spots. The area in question stretched from the east coast (Ipswich), westwards to the Devon-Cornwall border, where there occurred a change within some twelve miles to another stabilisation in which the female spot-distribution is bimodal with a large mode at o spots and a lesser mode at 2 spots (defined as the East Cornish stabilisation). In their 5953 paper, however, they noted that at Tiverton ()inthe extreme west of the South English stabilisation area, the female distri- bution showed a reduction of the steepness of the mode at o spots. The sample obtained at Taunton, Somerset, in 5952, had a similar tendency. With the small number of samples then available, however, these slight divergences did not much disturb the extreme and remark- able homogeneity of South English populations up to the region of the Cornish border. By 5955 two other stabilisation areas, apart from those of South England and East Cornwall had been discovered, one in Penwith (in west Cornwall) and the other in the large islands of the Scilly group.
