Bank description
Our Cornish habitat bank is one of our most diverse banks with a series of exiting elements coming together to create a stunning wild space. The upper sections of the bank involve the creation of traditional orchards with a mix of fruit and nut trees but with a special nod to a range of historic apple varieties. The middle section of the site is the part that has had the most agricultural use over the years and as such has higher nutrient levels, lending it to scrub planting in the form of a mixed scrub mosaic. As you reach the lower parts of the site where the ground conditions are much wetter and the land abuts to the River Kensey the neutral grassland that has evaded any intensive farming is being transformed into sections of meadow and floodplain wetland mosaic with the addition of hedges and ditches.
