Ash dieback has spread rapidly through the Welsh countryside and has now affected all of North Wales Wildlife Trust's nature reserves with ash trees present.

We work with partners at the landscape scale along the Alyn and Wheeler river valleys restoring, recreating and reconnecting wildlife habitats and engaging with local people and communities.

Nature reserves alone are not enough to support precious wildlife across North Wales. To enable wildlife to thrive we need to create more space that is better managed and well connected, with opportunities for people to connect with nature. As well as delivering projects in the wider landscape we also undertake development control activities to help ensure that building developments do not significantly threaten biodiversity. We also advocate for government policies that support nature recovery, and undertake proactive species-focused work – locally and nationally.

Here you will find information on the collective effort at the North Wales Wildlife Trust to tackle the threat posed by invasive non-native species (invasive species or INNS). This includes several projects focusing on different approaches and different parts of North Wales and beyond.
