The IOS Farmers’ and Growers’ Initiative hosted a day on St Martin’s touring the St Martin’s Vineyeard and Churchtown Farm. These walks are organised regularly for Scilly farmers to share best practice, keep in touch and learn from eachother, and to get together on areas of shared interest.

Welcome to National Landscapes!

Tony Richardson, Chair of the Isles of Scilly National Landscape Partnership attended a launch event at the Royal Society in London, on 22 November, when all designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) in England and Wales became National Landscapes.

When we look back at the history of achievements stemming from the Isles of Scilly National Landscape Partnership, it’s hard to see a greater accomplishment than the restoration of St Agnes and Gugh for breeding seabirds. In fact, this is still the world’s largest community-based rat removal project to date!
