Welsh poppy
The Welsh poppy is a plant of damp and shady places, roadsides and hillsides. It is also a garden escapee. It flowers over summer, attracting nectar-loving insects.
Our work in the wider landscape
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.

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.

Pintail
When spotting the pintail in winter, look out for the fabulous, long tail feathers that characterise it. This dabbling duck feeds at the water's surface, rather than diving for food.
