Celebrating 60 years working for wildlife
2023 is a special year as we celebrate 60 years of North Wales Wildlife Trust working to protect wildlife across North Wales.
Together with our local supporters, members and partners we have achieved some amazing results! We now manage 35 nature reserves, with a team of 450+ volunteers, and supported by 9,000+ members. We really couldn’t do it without your support and the hard work of all our wildlife heroes.
North Wales has a rich array of wildlife and stunning wild places. But we’re living in a nature and climate crisis. The time to act is now - to turn things around and bring nature back. So please support North Wales Wildlife Trust and get involved to help put nature in recovery.
Join the celebrations
2023 will be chock-full of events with over 150 walks, walks and family friendly activities. We're kicking off by launching our new strategy, having fun at Go Wild at West Shore, exploring our seas and coasts during National Marine Week and inviting everyone to an end-of-year celebration at our annual AGM and wildlife fete.
60 wild things
In our 60th year we will be celebrating 60 wildlife species, wild places, wild moments and wildlife heroes plus sharing handy tips on how you can help protect wildlife near you.
Here's our top 5 for this month ...
Barn owl
If you’ve never seen a barn owl before, then winter can be a great time of year to look, as they often extend their hunting hours into daylight to find the extra food they need to get them through the colder months.
Cors Goch Nature Reserve
While away the hours exploring this spectacular patchwork of habitats, each with its own unique character and array of wildlife.
Diane Lea
Diane Lea shares her grandfather’s explosive story – and why she has chosen to support his legacy at Gwaith Powdwr Nature Reserve with a legacy of her own.
Our first nature reserves!
In 1964 we opened our first three nature reserves! Cors Coch was purchased from the Society for the Promotion of Nature Reserves (SPNR), the Trust received Morfa Bychan as a gift; and Coed Cilygroeslwyd was purchased for a nominal sum.
How to make a log shelter
Log piles are perfect hiding places for insects, providing a convenient buffet for frog, birds, and hedgehogs too!
