Wild beginnings - early memories of nature
As we get ready for this year’s 30 Days Wild, we asked some Wildlife Trust staff to share their earliest memories of nature.
Caeau Pen-y-Clip Nature Reserve
Surrounded by agriculture and urban housing, these wildflower-rich fields and mature hedgerows create a haven for wildlife.
Bryn Pydew Nature Reserve
The combination of woodland, wildflowers and butterflies means that this limestone-based reserve is buzzing with life – a real summer treat!
Coed Crafnant Nature Reserve
A hidden treasure that feels like stepping back in time to the ancient wildwoods of Wales.
Coed y Felin Nature Reserve
An ancient oak/ash woodland planted with sycamore, beech and sweet chestnut, Coed y Felin also has a long post-industrial heritage …
Coed Trellyniau Nature Reserve
Spring flowers carpet the floor of this ancient woodland site; its shady canopy providing a peaceful refuge for both wildlife and people.
Cors y Sarnau Nature Reserve
A special opportunity to see ecological succession in action. As you wander this peaceful wetland, try to trace its journey from lake to woodland.
Cors Goch Nature Reserve
While away the hours exploring this spectacular patchwork of habitats, each with its own unique character and array of wildlife.
Cors Bodgynydd Nature Reserve
See prehistoric-looking dragonflies and insect-eating plants and listen for the bizarre calls of the elusive nightjar.
Graig Wyllt Nature Reserve
A lovely site sheltered by ancient woodland, awash with spring colour and with dazzling views across the Vale of Clwyd.
Llyn Celanedd Nature Reserve
A fantastic place to get close to wildlife, where bird hides give you the chance to really spend time with the reserve’s residents. There’s never a dull moment!
