Protect wildlife every month up and down the valley
- Regenerate lakeside oak woodland for pied flycatchers by clearing conifers and rhododendrons
- Manage the fragile ffridd, by clearing away bracken and planting rowan trees to provide food for whinchats
- Protect heather nesting sites so that hen harriers can hide precious eggs and chicks

How your donation can help
-
Protect flycatcher chicks in lakeside woods
Just £3 a month could help create more nesting and feeding sites for pied flycatchers in oak woods
-
Let whinchats flourish in the ffridd
Just £5 a month could ensure the unique ffridd provides an ideal home for whinchats

Provide plentiful foraging sites for 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
