Radnorshire Wildlife Trust bought this 164 acre livestock farm in 2021 with the goal of restoring the farm for nature. The vision for Pentwyn is bold and far-reaching, with a 30-year plan to restore habitats and promote biodiversity. Over the first five years, the project will focus on community involvement, sustainable food production, and showcasing innovative land management practices. Grazing animals will play a crucial role in maintaining the landscape, while a variety of habitats, from species-rich pastures to wetlands, will support diverse wildlife.

Meet at Pentwyn at 5:45pm, or in Almeley at 5pm to share cars. Booking in advance is essential, please email greeneralmleley@gmail.com to reserve a place and detailed information about the visit.
