Sand eels are a hugely important part of our marine ecosystem. In fact, the fledgling success of our breeding seabirds entirely depends on them.
The sand lizard is extremely rare due to the loss of its sandy heath and dune habitats. Reintroduction programmes have helped establish new populations.
Stand for Nature Wales was a 6-year youth engagement project with huge impacts for youth environmental mobilising across Wales. Here’s a summary of what the project set out to achieve.
Welsh TV star, Iolo Williams champions The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales (WTSWW)’s Big Wild Walk to raise funds for nature.
These grasslands, occupying much of the UK's heavily-grazed upland landscape, are of greater cultural than wildlife interest, but remain a habitat to some scarce and declining species.
Limited in distribution, this sweetly-scented, short-cropped, springy grassland is famed for its abundance of rare and scarce species.
Sand and gravel can be found from the shoreline down to the deep sea, attracting a host of burrowing creatures.
We have an exciting range of outdoor nature activities and indoor craft events to keep you happy, whatever the weather this summer.
Join us for a fun-filled summer holiday at the Welsh Wildlife Centre. Take part in hands-on activities, enjoy the Teifi Marshes nature reserve, and learn about our wonderful Welsh Wildlife.
Bringing a piece of your holiday home is a great way of keeping the memories alive – just make sure it’s wildlife-friendly!
Alex, My Wild Cardiff Officer, tells us about what the project has been up to this summer!
