Thanks to funding from the Moondance Foundation, Wild Ground is delighted to be delivering a new Conservation and Communities project across North East Wales.
The project takes place across Wild Ground’s nature reserves in Wrexham, Flintshire and Denbighshire, which are home to several important and protected species including great crested newts, badgers and bats. The project will strengthen habitats for the future while helping local people build skills, wellbeing and a deeper connection with the natural world.
A programme of nature‑based activities will take place across six reserves: Aberderfyn and Stryt Las in Wrexham, Maes y Grug and Broughton in Flintshire, and Glascoed and Trefnant in Denbighshire. All are located within or close to residential communities, offering opportunities for people to discover the wildlife living right on their doorstep.
Running from spring 2026 to 2028, the project will deliver vital habitat improvements, create hands‑on volunteering opportunities, and provide opportunities to connect with nature through public events. It will also support children to learn about protected species, the importance of good quality habitats, and how these connect to wider climate challenges.
People across the three counties will be able to get involved through:
- Weekly volunteering sessions across the three counties
- Community nature‑connection events
- Practical, curriculum‑linked education sessions for primary schools
