Friends of King Edward Mine

Volunteers

Over the last 20 years, volunteers have steadily worked towards recreating the mine as it was at the turn of the 20th century when it became the Camborne School of Mines training mine.

There are volunteers working on site every Sunday 9:30 - 13:00.  

We are encouraging bio-diversity on the 13 acres and are always keen to attract people who would like to get involved with conservation.   Contact info@kingedwardmine.co.uk for details.
