Small heath
The small heath is the smallest of our brown butterflies and has a fluttering flight. It favours heathlands, as its name suggests, as well as other sunny habitats.

Common rock-rose
Golden banks of common rock-rose make a spectacular sight on our chalk and limestone grasslands in summer. A creeping shrub, it is good for bees, moths and butterflies.
Creeping buttercup
Creeping buttercup is our most familiar buttercup - the buttery-yellow flowers are like little drops of sunshine peppering garden lawns, parks, woods and fields.
Summer on the seashore
With plenty of the summer left there’s loads of time for exploring! You’ll find a good rockpool almost anywhere you go – even on a sandy beach if you explore around the groynes or sand pools you’re bound to find some fish or prawns darting around.
Preventing Aliens Taking Hold (PATH)
The North Wales Wildlife Trust is continuing its on-going management of invasive non-native plant species within the Upper and Middle Dee catchment. This time we’re addressing the impact of the footpath network as a pathway of spread. By focusing on improving people’s experience of natural heritage through signs, audio guided walks, talks and INNS management; we aim to increase awareness of the heritage found within the SAC, have a positive impact on how people value it, and empower them to protect and enhance it.
