Stock dove
The stock dove looks very much like the woodpigeon, but without the white neck and wing patches. It can be spotted in woodlands and parks, and on farmland in winter, but rarely visits our gardens…

Morwellt: Achub Cefnfor
Mae’r DU wedi colli hyd at 90% o’i dolydd morwellt yn y ganrif ddiwethaf, sydd wedi cael canlyniadau negyddol i iechyd a gwydnwch ein systemau arfordirol. Yn 2019, ffurfiodd Prifysgol Abertawe, yr elusen Project Seagrass a WWF-UK gydweithrediad i ddechrau adfer rhywfaint o'r hyn yr ydym wedi'i golli. Ar yr un pryd, dros y chwe blynedd diwethaf mae Prifysgol Abertawe wedi bod yn arwain treialon ledled Cymru i ddatblygu dulliau priodol ar gyfer adfer morwellt. Yma yn Ngogledd Cymru, rydym wedi ymuno gyda’r partneriaid i gychwyn archwilio sut allwn ddod a’r prosiect cyffrous yma i Ogledd Cymru. Rydym wedi sicrhau cyllid gan Gronfa Dreftadaeth y Loteri Genedlaethol i gyflawni rhaglen waith adfer arfaethedig sy’n dderbyniol yn gymdeithasol ac yn ecolegol gadarn ac rydym ni eisiau i chi gymryd rhan. Wrth gymryd rhan fyddwch chi yn helpu ni i adfer morwellt yng Ngogledd Cymru.

Seagrass Ocean Rescue
The UK has lost up to 90% of its seagrass meadows in the past century, which has had negative consequences for the health and resilience of our coastal systems. In 2019, Swansea University, the charity Project Seagrass and WWF-UK formed a collaboration to begin to restore some of what we have lost. Concurrently, over the last six years Swansea University has been leading trials across Wales to develop appropriate methods for seagrass restoration. Here in North Wales, we've now teamed up with the partnership to start exploring how we can bring this exciting project to North Wales. Funding secured from the National Lottery Heritage Fund allows us to deliver a socially agreeable and ecologically sound programme of restoration and we want you to get involved.
