How your donation can help

Provide plentiful foraging sites for black grouse

Just £5 a month could support beautiful black grouse.

Lake Vyrnwy is one of the last refuges for black grouse in mid-Wales but we need your regular help to stop their decline by:

1. Creating covered ground nesting sites in tall heather
2. Encouraging insects on marshy ground to feed grouse chicks
3. Opening up the natural woodland to provide food in autumn
