🌱 Not all grass is managed the same

You might notice some areas are regularly cut, while others are left longer, and that’s intentional.

We manage grass in two different ways:

✅ Grass for people
Cut regularly (around every 4 weeks from March–October)
✔ Keeps paths clear
✔ Maintains visibility
✔ Creates safe, usable spaces

🌼 Grass for nature
Cut just a few times a year
✔ Allows wildflowers to bloom
✔ Supports wildlife and pollinators
✔ Improves soil health and climate resilience

Caught on camera: meet one of the River Fal's special residents 🦦

During a recent pre-construction ecological survey for bridge repairs, an active otter holt was identified by Cormac’s in-house ecologist.

After spotting fresh tracks, a trail camera was deployed, capturing some fantastic footage of one of the site’s special residents.

🎥 Check out the video footage of the otters in action!

Working closely with the project team, appropriate measures have been put in place to ensure the works can be carried out sensitively, minimising disturbance to this protected species while still delivering essential infrastructure improvements.

This is a great example of how early ecological surveys and in-house expertise help us understand wildlife on site and keep nature conservation at the heart of our projects. 🌿

Enjoying Cornwall's coastline with your dog this summer? 🐾🌊

Please keep dogs on leads when walking along coast paths and near cliff tops.

Dogs can easily become startled and distracted by wildlife, waves, noises or unfamiliar surroundings, and in a split second may run too close to cliff edges or into danger.

To help keep everyone safe:
🐕‍🦺 Always keep dogs on leads near cliffs and coastal paths
🏔️ Stay well back from cliff edges - you can spot risks from above, your dog can't
👀 Keep a close eye on pets around wildlife, steep drops and rough seas
🌊 Never enter the water to rescue a dog: move to a safe place and calmly call them back
🚨In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard

Remember: keep your dog safe, one lead could save a life 🙏

To mark National Volunteers’ Week, colleagues came together for a Wild Work Day at Trenoweth Playing Fields near Redruth on 3 June showing just how powerful teamwork can be 💪

Organised by the Cormac Volunteer Team, 10 volunteers from Cornwall Council’s Audit Team rolled up their sleeves to help improve this much-loved green space. Together, they weeded and tidied flower beds and cleared a long pathway making a real difference for the local community.

Principal Auditor Jason shared:

"We felt like we made a difference and had a great time doing so. A huge thank you to the Cormac team for their support, knowledge and enthusiasm, you made the day a success!" 🙌

Days like this are a great reminder of what we can achieve when we collaborate, connect, and give back to our communities.

Got a community space that could use some extra care? Or thinking about getting involved and giving back to your local area?

Sad news from Royal Cornwall Show, but the safety of all involved is most important.

Royal Cornwall Show – Saturday Closure

It is with great regret that following a thorough assessment of forecast weather conditions and their impact on the showground, the difficult decision has been taken to cancel the final day of the Royal Cornwall Show on Saturday.

The safety and wellbeing of our visitors, exhibitors, competitors, members, staff, volunteers and contractors has been central to this decision and remains our highest priority.

We recognise how disappointing this news will be for everyone involved, particularly those who had planned to attend, exhibit or compete, and we would like to thank all our stakeholders for their patience, understanding and support.

Further information for ticket holders, exhibitors, competitors, members and other stakeholders will be communicated as soon as possible through the Royal Cornwall Show’s official channels.
