Chyan Community Field (to be found at Halvasso, off the A394) started in Oct 2002.  It was an empty overgrown two acre field which in the last 7 years has been developed by volunteers and members to include allotments; which can be rented by field members for £15 a year, including use of tools and tea shed; a pond, straw bale tea-shed and tool store, sensory garden, composting area, covered cob seat, playground and community orchard.

This organisation's latest Cornwall Community Foundation assisted project is to develop the Chyan Environmental Play Trail, to make it accessible to all local people; to build elements of the trail with local youth groups, disabled groups and schools and to create pathways and signage to explain environmental features and sustainability to all. An apple press and open air classroom are on the future agenda.

Three grants from CCF totalling £14,500 have helped sustain this growth, from wilderness to accessible interactive space. The positive difference that this space can make to the families, individuals and groups who make use of it would be difficult at best to put a price to!
