Due to the
Covid situation no volunteer conservation
days were undertaken. We facilitated the
use of Crenver Grove and Pip’s Field for
regular use throughout the year by
community groups, including the local
schools for outdoor events and educational
purposes. Children from four local schools
have learnt about the archaeology of
Cornwall, the natural world and the value of
woodlands in sessions meeting the
educational curriculum. Volunteer groups
working to help those with mental health or
other difficulties have also used the woods
for confidence and team building exercises.|

|A description of the principal
risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|We do not own the woods we manage and
have appropriate public liability insurance,
but a significant accident could affect our
public reputation. We do insist on risk
assessments from all groups or businesses
using the woods
for events and have warnings at the site
entrances about safety of visitors. We also
look after a re-erected Neolithic cromlech
and similar considerations apply. Because
we have not
carried out any large projects financial risks
have been very small during this reporting
period. We will be working on a larger
project for the future and will review the
risks accordingly|
