Merlin Hanbury-Tenison, a former management consultant and soldier, is dedicated to preserving a unique 5,000-year-old segment of Atlantic temperate rainforest in Cornwall. He is emotionally connected to this landscape, evidenced by a tattoo of the Mother Tree on his back. His father, Robin Hanbury-Tenison, acquired Cabilla farm in 1960 for its natural beauty. Now, Merlin strives to expand the forest, create viable hill-farming methods, and employ locals, emphasizing the importance of environmental stewardship and community involvement in sustainability efforts.
Merlin Hanbury-Tenison, leading me into a steep Cornish valley, reveals his tattoo of a significant oak, expressing a deep connection to nature's story.
He is now the custodian of a rare fragment of Atlantic temperate rainforest, dedicated to protecting this valuable habitat amidst increasing threats.
Merlin's father, explorer Robin Hanbury-Tenison, bought Cabilla farm for its tranquility; Merlin aims to expand the small existing rainforest and innovate sustainable farming practices.
Through the preservation of the landscape and engaging local communities, Merlin envisions a future that reinvigorates both the forest and local employment.
