Time Lords of Tomorrow

We've buried a time capsule of your environmental hopes and dreams - and sent it back to the future!

We've created a time machine - of sorts! Packed with planet-changing ideas, it might just be bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside!

We asked members and staff to write down their environmental pledges, hopes, and dreams for the wildlife and wild places of North Wales, packed these into a steel time capsule and buried it on one of our nature reserves. Once it's retrieved - on our 75th anniversary - the information we'll unearth will make for fascinating reading. Will the human race have achieved any of these nature related dreams? Will endangered species be thriving? Will humans have given up fossil fuels? Will single use plastic be resigned to history?

I'm sure we all certainly hope so - but let's all do something about it too. Let's make these dreams come true and do our part to support the wildlife and wild spaces of North Wales. You could volunteer, recycle, become a member of NWWT, turn your garden over to wildlife or remember NWWT in your Will. We all have the planet-changing power of a Time Lord - we can all work to make a better environmental future become a reality.

With sincere thanks to our guest diggers and event attendees, the time capsule is now hidden beneath the ground. We shall unearth everyone's hopes and dreams in 2038 and see how many have been realised!

See you in 2038!

I hope that seagrass will cover a wide stretch of coast again and cover most areas of the UK - and that seahorses are reintroduced around Wales.

Take a tip from a Time Lord

 

“People can save planets or wreck them.
That’s the choice. Be the best of humanity.”

I want to see life breathed back into the fabric of the landscape across North Wales. The soil regenerating, freshwater cleansed and wild plants returned throughout our farmland. This is providing a sustainable and nourished environment for both healthy food production for people, and a rich biodiversity of life, with declining species such as hares, water voles, cuckoos, curlew and salmon, becoming commonplace once again.
