Meet our Wilder Engagement Officer, Alex
I am the new Wilder Engagement Officer for Cardiff with the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales, and I’ll be working on the Stand for Nature Wales project and the My Wild Cardiff campaign.
Purple sandpiper
This stocky wader is mostly a winter visitor to the UK, where it can be found on rocky, seaweed-covered coasts, often with groups of turnstones.
Living Landscapes
Living Landscapes are our vision for the future. A future where wildlife thrives across Wales - in farmland, woodland, wetland, and even our towns and cities.
Climate Change on my Doorstep
Our Wilder Engagement Officer shares his thoughts on the recent flooding in South Wales, how climate change has affected him and how he's taking action in Cardiff.
Webcams
Our wildlife webcams give a fantastic insight into the lives of some of our precious island animals. From courtship to nesting, and even hatching! Be warned - it's addictive viewing!
Cardigan Bay
Cardigan Bay dominates the coastal profile of Wales – a long sweeping arc which joins the Lleyn peninsula in the north with Pembrokeshire in the south. It is a huge lee shore that faces the prevailing winds coming in off the Atlantic.
Grey wagtail
A breeding bird of fast-flowing, upland rivers, the grey wagtail can also be seen in lowland areas, farmyards and even towns in winter.
Professional services
Through our skilled and experienced staff team at the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales, we are able to offer a wide range of services to partner organisations involved in conservation land management, agencies, private companies and landowners.
Fallow deer
Although introduced by humans, the fallow deer has been here so long that it is considered naturalised. Look out for groups of white-spotted deer in woodland glades.
Migrant hawker
The migrant hawker is not a particularly aggressive species, and may be seen feeding in large groups. It flies late into autumn and can be seen in gardens, grasslands and woodlands.
Common octopus
The common octopus is a highly intelligent, active predator. It even has a secret weapon - special glands produce a venom that it uses to incapacitate its prey!
