We had a wonderful time getting crafty with year 2 pupils at Ysgol Estyn recently ✨
As part of their forest school activities, we created homemade bird feeders 🐦
Bog Babies at Ysgol Estyn! 🦎🐲 Last week, students got creative sculpting mythical bog babies as part of the Newt Networks project.
Funded by the Nature Networks Programme via @HeritageFundUK, this project boosts resilience for protected great crested newt sites in NE Wales. 🐾
⚠️ Storm Update ⚠️
We continue to assess and clear the damage at our nature reserves caused by the last Fridays storm. We have a number of trees down across our reserves, so please take care when using wooded areas.
Storm Éowyn brings strong winds, posing hazards at our nature reserves. Please avoid these areas until conditions improve. Our team will assess damage early next week. Thanks for your understanding—stay safe!
Hedgelaying at Spon Green 🌿
Hedgelaying creates vital habitats and shelters to wildlife by cutting and bending stems of shrubs - a skill that has been practised for hundreds of years.
First session back at Trefnant, and the volunteers were straight into the ponds for some much needed maintenance 🌾

Have you heard about our Newt Networks project? 🦎🌍
Activities like this bug hotel 🏨 (built by Acton Park Primary's Eco Council 💪🤩) provide shelter for hedgehogs, toads, bees, ladybirds & more. Great work, team! 👏
It was the final session before Christmas for our Trefnant volunteers last week, so they spent it making lovely Christmas wreaths around the fire.
A big thank you for all you hard work this year - we hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year 🎅
