One of the UK's largest known seagrass beds discovered in St Austell Bay
A report published this April by Cornwall Wildlife Trust and Natural England has revealed that St Austell Bay supports the largestest known subtidal seagrass bed in Cornwall at 359.1 hectares (887 acres) - and is one of the largest known seagrass beds in the UK.
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.
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.
Join us for a fun night of questions, the picture quiz and the enjoyable, prize Music Game.
Charge is just £5 per person, which covers cocktail pasty, tea, coffee or squash AND free entry into our prize Music Game.
Maximum 6 per table - no age restrictions.
In order to avoid disappointment and to secure your pasties (meat or cheese & onion) it is recommended to book a table with Mike on 01726 816454.
If you are on your own or there are not enough to form your own team you can still book a place(s) to join a mixed table.
There will not be a licensed bar, but you are welcome to bring your own drinks if you wish.
As well as the new Music Game there will be a raffle with a variety of prizes.
For further information ring Mike or use the Contact Us page on our website, please put 'Quiz Night' in the subject box.

Digging tools will be provided. Do bring your own if you wish.
Please wear sensible footwear and clothing.
Bring your own 'bramble proof' gloves.
Refreshments will be provided.
