Come and join Cornwall Wildlife Trust and an expert from Buglife’s Kernow Wyls – People for Pollinators project on a walk through the dunes with a fun plant ID sheet – your job is to be a nature detective and look for amazing plants hiding in the sand, grass, and little wet areas called dune slacks.
Plants to Look For:
- Pyramidal Orchid – A bright pink flower shaped like a pyramid!
- Early Gentian – A tiny blue flower that only grows in places like this.
- Marram Grass – Super-tough grass that holds the dunes together
- Petalwort – A teeny-tiny plant that loves wet sand (you’ll need sharp eyes!).
- Wild Thyme – Smells amazing when you rub the leaves.
- Shore Dock – Very rare! Grows in wet dune dips.
- Eye Bright – A tiny white or purple flower that looks like it’s wearing little eyelashes!
- Self Heal – A purple flower often used in old medicine.
