Keeping Scilly Special

Our Islands are a haven for both wildlife and people.  It's really important that they remain that way and we all do what we can to ensure that the nature of Scilly is undisturbed; that way the Islands will continue to offer people what they have come to expect and love.  A sanctuary in our modern world.

There are some really simple ways that you can help us to ensure the nature of Scilly prevails...
