Favourite rock pool creature: all of them! They're all amazing and unique!
Favourite part of Polzeath: exploring all along the beach and coastal paths and seeing all the beautiful wildlife going about their daily lives
Why should you volunteer with the PMCG: now more than ever we need to join as a community to protect and conserve our nature and its environment! By keeping our beaches tidy, learning, and inspiring the next generation, we can do it!

Favourite rock pool creature: crabs, I love their complex structure and their ability to feed and survive whilst being incredibly beautiful/fearsome.
Favourite part of Polzeath: the beach and sea, especially out of the main summer season. The sea is forever changing whilst being a great playground.
Why should you volunteer with the PMCG: volunteers are always required to help educate others, school children, holiday makers both young and old. My favourite feeling is when someone says on a rockpool ramble " I never knew that". Different volunteers bring different skills and knowledge to the group.
