Our work in the wider landscape

More, better, connected 

Nature reserves alone are not enough to support precious wildlife across North Wales. To enable wildlife to thrive we need to create more space that is better managed and well connected, with opportunities for people to connect with nature. As well as delivering projects in the wider landscape we also undertake development control activities to help ensure that building developments do not significantly threaten biodiversity.  We also advocate for government policies that support nature recovery, and undertake proactive species-focused work – locally and nationally.

Wider landscape work in North Wales

We work on a landscape scale, with landholders, businesses, organisations and individuals, to create, improve and connect habitats in North Wales. We currently run four ‘Living Landscapes’ programmes as part of our wider landscape strategy. See below to find out more.

Bringing nature back

From conserving limestone woundwort in North-East Wales to the re-establishment of beavers, and supporting our summer visiting swifts to tackling the spread of non-native invasive species, our staff and volunteers work hard to help protect and restore nature in our part of the world.
