The findings come from the St Austell Bay Blue Carbon Mapping Project, part of the ambitious G7 legacy Project for Nature Recovery announced by the Prime Minister at the G7 summit held in Cornwall in 2021.

EVENT: Wildflower Walk 

WILDFLOWER WALK

                    

What:   Wildflower walk along the dunes and Local Nature Reserve.

Where: Meet at Friends of Par Beach hut, opposite Par Beach Cafe.

When:  Saturday, 10th June, 10:30

Cost:    Free for Friends of Par Beach members, £3.50 (cash) for non-members.

Places are limited so please book by contacting jennytagney@gmail.com or via FB messenger. You can still pay on the day if not a member.

Join Friends of Par Beach and Dan Ryan from the Three Bays Wildlife Group for a gentle walk over the dunes and surrounding areas, exploring the plants and natural history of Par Beach and Local Nature Reserve.

We'll talk about what makes Par so special and how it has been shaped by a combination of natural forces and human activity. We will meet some common dune plants and hopefully some of the rarer and peculiar plants that call Par home.

We'll walk for about 2 hours along a mixture of sand and made paths so wear sturdy shoes. If it's sunny, the dunes may be very hot so please consider a hat, sun-screen, water and snacks. If you have a wildflower field guide or eye glass you might also like to bring them, but no need to buy anything especially for this walk.

Suitable for complete beginners and those with more advanced knowledge.
