ECO News

Trees of Hope

After the illegal felling of the beloved tree at Sycamore Gap along Hadrian’s Wall last year the National Trust are preparing to make available 49 saplings from the tree to find new homes in the UK. The Trust hopes that the saplings will find new homes in community settings so that people can have the opportunity to engage with the Sycamore Gap tree and its legacy.

Embrace Autumn

As the clocks go back at the end of this month you might feel the urge to hibernate! But as daylight dwindles it is more important to get outside for exercise when you can. Take a moment to enjoy the changing seasons.

Blue Carbon

A world-leading series of reports regarding Blue Carbon have been issued- making the UK the first nation to map and estimate the carbon stored in the seabed habitats and highlighting the importance of marine protection. Cornwall Wildlife Trust states, ‘as a county dominated by the coast this report feels particularly poignant’. Tor to Shore is their latest project and a key part of their conservation work at sea and takes in the largest known sub-tidal seagrass bed in the UK. Read more on their website. 

 ECO TIP

It is that time of year again where it is a good idea to clean bird feeders this will help to prevent diseases spreading to winter migrants. Install a nest box well before breeding season to provide a cosy retreat for small birds.

 

‘I know every bird in the mountains, & the insects in the field are mine.’ Psalm 50:11

 

 In our prayers, we continue to hold the following before God: from Falmouth: - we pray for Rosemary who has had a fall, Glenys & Kerina Bakken, Sue’s sister Jean, Anne & Barry Libby & Family, Val Thorne, Gwen Mason, Barbara Toyne, Pauline & Peter Cocks, Dorothy Penman, Gwen Dunstan, Gill Wilkinson, and the residents and staff of care homes, especially Langholme.

 

Pastoral Contact:    for October is Tracy.

Thinking of you and missing you at church: Lorene Fletcher & Gwen Dunstan.
