Wildlife Sites Project

Brecknock Wildlife Trust, Brecon Beacons National Park and other partners are working together on a new project to identify 'Wildlife Sites' in the Brecon Beacons National Park area.

Within the landscape there are areas that are especially important for wildlife but are not currently designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest or managed as a nature reserve by a Wildlife Trust or similar body. The project aims to acknowledge these sites' importance and to provide advice on how manage them.

For more information on the project, visit the Wildlife Sites page.

Conservation

New pages have been added to the web site to cover the Penlan Ponds and the Nightjar radiotracking projects and the Slow Worm survey.

Breathing Places

The BBC Breathing Places campaign has been set up to to make it easier to find out about the wildlife that lives near us and to do something practical to help nature where we live.

Aggregate Industries is supporting The Wildlife Trust's role in the BBC Breathing Places campaign which aims to inspire millions of people to get involved with nature. A leader in the construction and building materials sector, Aggregate Industries has been awarded the British Standards Institution award for "Most Innovative Organisation" in recognition of its commitment to environmental management across its UK operations.

Aggregate Industries' support for The Wildlife Trusts is helping develop the Communities campaign for Breathing Places which encourages local people to transform thousands of places across the UK for the benefit of wildlife and people.
