Treraven Farm

Facebook Page is for sharing links to Treraven Farm events and updates - and for anyone to share any links connected to climate, ecology, biodiversity, animals, plants, farming, forestry, resilience, outdoor play, biology education, rural skills, survival skills, forest schools etc.


Treraven Farm lies along the old cart track between Guineaport in Wadebridge and Burlawn. It is part open-access woodland and saltmarsh nature-reserve and part privately dairy farmed - with overlap of nature-reserve and farmed areas in the central open-access hay meadows.

It is owned by The Gaia Trust, which owns several properties in Cornwall and Devon.

Excerpts from the website:

In delivering its mission of ‘Bringing nature and people together’, The Gaia Trust aims to:

*Protect and enhance indigenous flora and fauna, particularly endangered species.

*Provide examples of best practice in sustainable land management, by using the best available methods. Wildlife-friendly farming practices are therefore at the heart of its work.

*Actively encourage some land areas to revert to their pre-War use as part of its sustainable land use policy.

*Encourage managed access to its visitor-friendly properties, and work to make its land more accessible both physically and intellectually, through interpretation, website etc.

*Encourage community involvement with relevant properties, and develop volunteering activity and educational visits. This includes investigating and delivering better access for people with disabilities.

*Work to raise public awareness related to environmental and ecological issues, sustainable land management and traditional crafts and skills.
