Beschreibung
Pendarves Wood Nature Reserve is a mainly broadleaf woodland with streams and a lake. In the early 19th century the area was transformed from summer grazing/moorland and hay meadows into a ornamental park, mostly by the Pendarves family who made their fortune from tin works. Some pits and spoil heeps can still be found on site. Throughout the woodland is a number of Badger (Meles meles) setts and you can find evidence of Otter (Lutra lutra) using the streams and lake.
The woodland is described as a 'wet woodland' and is unsurprisingly a bit of a 'hotspot' for finding Brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni) butterflies especially in Spring. The site is managed by Cornwall Wildlife Trust (since 1976) and is rarely visited by birdwatchers, whilst the site has mostly common species Knäkente is on it's bird list and Purpurreiher has been seen nearby.
