Businesses in and around Newquay are being invited to support nature restoration projects in their community.
Love Where You Are: Saints Coast 2025 is a new Cornwall Council and Crowdfunder initiative to encourage businesses in the Saints Coast area to donate to local nature recovery projects and help reach funding goals.
Each year, Love Where You Are will spotlight a different area of Cornwall, introducing exciting local nature projects to support.
This year, four projects to benefit nature have been highlighted including beach clean-up stations and tree-planting.
Cllr Leigh Frost, leader of Cornwall Council, said:
“We’re calling on businesses to play a pivotal part in supporting nature projects that benefit their communities. This could be creating or enhancing local green spaces, distributing free trees or setting up litter-picking stations.
“This is a chance for you to showcase your values and build stronger connections with your community. Love Where You Are empowers businesses and communities to grow side by side by investing in nature, people and a more sustainable Cornwall.”
Dawn Bébe, founder of Crowdfunder, said:
"Crowdfunder see thousands of environmental projects add to the platform every year aiming to protect nature and environment and have launched Projects For Nature, a national campaign to encourage businesses to invest in nature, supported by DEFRA.
“We're therefore delighted to work with Cornwall Council to launch a local version, Love Where You Are Cornwall, helping local businesses invest in nature projects that matter to them in and around the Newquay area to help innovation thrive and support its stunning coast scape.”
