Cornwall Rural Education and Skills Trust CIO (CREST) is an exciting new initiative aiming to train and educate our communities in rural crafts and their vital importance to both heritage and maintaining the landscape.

In 2023, CREST was funded by Cornwall AONB Farming in Protected Landscapes and partnered with Cornwall Heritage Trust to deliver a programme of Cornish hedging training and raise awareness of the importance of Cornish hedges in the landscape.
