Dramatic uplands, coastal landscapes, ancient woodlands, sunny meadows and lush wetlands - there is so much to explore!

It’s no secret that the natural world is in trouble. Wildlife is disappearing at an alarming rate and the threat of climate catastrophe is a constant worry. There is a way to tackle both of these critical issues, but we have to act now. Time is running out.

On this page you will find advice on what to do if you come across sick, injured or abandoned animals. There are many Rescue Centre's which will provide care for a variety of animals. Read further for contact details.

Larger and more complex developments are usually decided by the planning committee. Each local planning authority will have its own rules as to which applications will be decided by the planning committee (called the scheme of delegation). You can find out if an application is going to be decided by committee by looking at the application information or by asking the case officer.

At The Wildlife Trust of South & West Wales, we’re passionate about using the Welsh language to connect people with Welsh wildlife. Whatever your ability, we have a range of events where you can learn more about wildlife in Welsh.

It's vital that today's young people have the opportunities to form life-long connections to nature and have their say in creating a wilder future. Whether that's through fun activities with the family, learning at school, joining Wildlife Watch, or being part of a youth forum, we want to bring nature into the everyday lives of young people and help them connect and be inspired to stand up for nature.

Building with wildlife in mind can have big benefits for people as well – research has shown that contact with nature is good for our health and wellbeing. Green spaces can also improve air quality, lower flood risk and provide places for the local community to come together.
